Dear List I have over the last few weeks transcribed those parts of the above PR's prior to 1754 which are readable and intact... There are several holes in the date period from 1629 - 1754 which were totally un-readable for a variety reasons, not least that they were not there, faded, illegible, torn, etc, etc......what has been transcribed now, is all that can be read (even with difficulty)...... Baptisms increased by 240, Burials by 220, and Marriages by 63 These updated transcriptions are located at http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/H_m_w/Brompton_Regis/Index.html Any further transcription work has been interrupted due to a debilitating sickness and hospitalisation at this time....
