Hi Chris I think Phil has your answer, given Mansfields close proximately to Yorkshire Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) Chris, This may well be an example of the Dade Parish rtegisters, which idea started in Yorkshire. <http://www.pontefractfhs.org.uk/Dade_registers.htm> is a link which explains more.

Chris, Phil is correct. There are examples of "Dade" type parish records for Mansfield. I have Mansfield ancestors from the 1770s and have found these records to be invaluable. I have examples of place of birth and occupation of grandparents. These detailed records have helped me knock down several brick walls but, sadly, only seem to exist for a period of a few years during the 1770s decade for Mansfield St Peter.

Thanks to all. I had actually heard of Dade Registers but never seen one. A bit of digging suggests that Mansfield had the enhanced records between 1777 to 1780. I now need to see the originals to find out what else they reveal beyond the details transcribed in Ancestry's offering. Meanwhile, I can jump back 2 generations with certainty.
