The Rey. O. W. Tancock, of Little Waltham Rectory, Chelmsford, 
is Hon. Sec. of the St. Alban’s Committee, and E. A. Fry, Esq., of the 
Worcester, and either of these gentlemen will be glad to answer 
enquiries as to their method of work, so that a uniform plan may be 
adopted in other Dioceses. 
The St. Alban’s “ Diocesan Quarterly ” for the past quarter (No. 15, 
price 3d. post free, W. Root, Halstead, Essex) contains an account of 
what has been done in the St. Alban’s Diocese.* 
It is to be hoped that an effort will afterwards be made to get all 
the Registers transcribed and indexed, and copies kept in the Parish 
for reference. A small fee should be agreed upon as to be charzed for 
consultation of the Transcript for purposes of Genealogical research, 
the charge for certified extracts from the original Registers remaining, 
of course, as at present. 
The Committee are again indebted to Geo. W. Marshall, LL.D. 
(Rouge Croix) for his revision of the list of Printed Registers. The 
somewhat arduous labour of compiling and editing the Calendar has 
been undertaken by Ralph Nevill, F.S.A. the Hon. Sec. of the Com- 
mittee, and &, A. Fry, the Hon. Sec. cf the Parish Register Society. 
All who may publish to transcribe Registers in future are invited 
to send particulars to either of the above named gentlemen, who have 
undertaken to compile the next List.

Kensington. 
The particulars obtained of the Registers of Herts. will be printed in 
Middlesex and Herts. Notes and Queries, commencing January, 1897 
(Messrs. Hardy § Page, 44, Chancery Lane, W.C.). 
* The Worcester Diocesan Mag. for December, 1896 (Midland Education 
Co., Corporation Street, Birmingham, price 24d. post free), contains a 
similar Report for the Worcester Diocese. 
The First Report of the Committee, issued in 1892, contains advice as 
to the transcription and publication of Registers, and a specimen 
alphabet of the characters chiefly used. 
There are also Calendars of all Registers known to have been 
transcribed or printed up to the date of issue. The Calendars 
here given are supplementary to those in the First Report.
