Phillimore's Marriages - Freeby 1601 to 1775

The Registers of this parish, previous to 1822, are preserved at Melton Mowbray, and are contained in two volumes.

Vol. I. consists of twenty-seven leaves of parchment of various sizes, apparently the remains of several books collected and bound up in folio boards, at the expense of Dr. Colles, Vicar of Melton, in 1866. With the exception of a serious gap between 1736 and 1766, the volume contains entries of Baptisms and Burials from 1601 to 1803, and of Marriages from 1601 to 1775. No Marriages took place here between 1775 and 1813. The arrangement of the volume is a little irregular, a few leaves containing the earlier entries having been bound up in the middle of the book.

Vol. II. also consists of parchment leaves, a few of which are blank, measuring 13½ by 8 inches, and bound in parchment boards. It contains on five leaves entries of Baptisms and Burials from 1804 to 1822. Later Registers for all classes of entries are kept at Freeby.

These abstracts have been made by Mr. Henry Hartopp.
