By J. Charles Cox. 



■ 



HE earliest volume of the Registers of the parish of 

 Repton extends from 1580 to 1628; the second from 

 1629 to 1654; and the third from 1655 to 1670. 

 The first of these volumes, a small folio of parchment, is badly 

 bound, and several of the leaves are loose. It has, in several 

 places, been poorly and imperfectly kept. At the end of the 

 general entries of 1628 — " Here followeth the regester booke for 

 fornemarke and Bretbye ano dni 1580." The second volume is 

 unbound, and the outer page is quite illegible. The only inter- 

 polations are occasional entries of collections by Brief. Such 



are : — 



s. d. 



1659 Inhabitants of Soulbay, Suffolk, fire 10 8 



1661 Tho. Ury of Home Castle, Lincoln, fire. . - 76 



1664 Fire at W'ytham Church, Sussex 36 



.... Repairs of Church of Basing, Southampton 43 



The following are family names of some moment that are to be 

 found frequently in the registers : — 



Armstrong, Bancroft. Beaumont, Bishop,. Bradshaw, Burdett, Cantrell, 

 Chamberlain, Chantry, Gilbert, Gisborne, Osborne, Pegge, Pickering, Prince, 

 Shorthose, Taberer, Thacker, Wayte. 



The few excerpts that follow have been selected either because 

 they pertain to the family of Thacker, or because they appear to 

 possess some little general interest : — 



1595 Milton. W m Alt who was drowned buried y e 26 of ffebruarie. 

 1599 Margaret Meykin drowned herselfe the xxvij th of September.
