I've just been searching AbeBooks (as I am occasionally wont to do) and found this up for sale: 75. STAVERT, W.J. THE PARISH REGISTER OF BINGLEY, in the County of York, 1577-1686. Yorkshire Parish Register Society, 1901. Contemporary half morocco gilt with raised bands, a trifle scraped. Pp. 360, top edges gilt. A very interesting 3-page A.l.s. from the then Vicar of Bingley to a Mr.Busfield (who appears to have been intending to transcribe them at that time), dated 1880, describing the state of the original registers and their whereabouts, laid in at the front. Bookseller Inventory #25857 Price: US$ 189.76 (£ 120.00) Bookseller: R.F.G.HOLLETT & SON Sedbergh, Cumbria, United Kingdom The price puts it a bit out of my league (even with a very forgiving, kind, charming, witty, loving husband - how much creeping can I get in one mail - just in case he reads this)...... but I thought I'd bring it to the attention of the list :D Bright Blessings Dawn (in VERY wet and windy Swindon, Wiltshire)
