All Saints, Laleham 1538-1690 - at the foot The variably untidy, faded, old-fashioned and inkblotted writing, which, for added fun frequently resorts to Latin, found in this register will prove an interesting challenge to researchers, but then, that's what we love about this hobby, isn't it?  :-) I've tried to get it as accurate as possible but some of the Anno Dominis & Virisimos &c were buried amongst the scribbles or even sliding out the side of the page so i may have missed an item or two. I don't think there should be any fear that these digitised images of Ancestry's will in any way make the fantastic work that Cliff Webb and his team are doing redundant. Even for those who have access to Ancestry, the areas the SRY cd's so far cover have all the names &c indexed which these don't; they also make it much easier to bring together the members of each family. I visualise that the cd's and these non-indexed files could be used in conjunction with each other for those who like to see the original docs. For the rest, the cd's save a considerable amount of browsing & searching and are still a very needy resource for those without Ancestry subs and who have been to date, largely dependant on the IGIs. Cliff and his team's aim is to fill the great gaps in the Surrey IGIs which leave so many of us researchers frustrated. le durachd Fionnghal ------------------------------------------ All Saints, Laleham 1538-1690 Baptisms: p.1-39/1: 1538-1688 [not been checked for breaks in dates] ------------------------------------------ Marriages: p39/2-42: 1539-45; 1547-Feb 56; Jly 1563-69       p.43:     1569; 1570; 1572-73; 1575-77; 1580-84 p.44-45:  1585-89; 1594-96; 1598-1600; 1602-03; 1605; 1611-12; 1614-19 p.46-49: 1619-20; 1622; 1624; 1626-29; 1632-51; 1653; 1657-59; 1663-70 p.50/1:  1670-71; 1673-76;   p.50/2:  almost unreadable 1676-1677; 1679-82 p.64/2:  1682 upside down  p.65:    1680-81 [largely unreadable] p.66:    1681-82 ------------------------------------------- Burials: p.51-53:   1538-55 p.53/2-57: 1562-78; 1584-89; 1597; 1599-1605; 1607/8; 1612-15 p.58-64/1: 1616-43 ------------------------------------------- p.66: final page Church accounts & jottings of some description. heading unreadable, however there are also references to marriages mixed in it so maybe some kind of banns or late entries eg:  A Breef [Broof?] (a brief?) published & collortal for ?Jack / Ffark? anmo & John _odulphus zollar dilligats of ___ August the 14 the some of _ shillings eg: Alexander Dawkins [Hawkins?] of Stornos[?] and Mary [no surname] were married ____ 15 Day of May 1682 odd references to places outside London
