Phillimore's Marriages - Frisby-on-the-Wreak 1659 to 1837

Volume I., 1659-1754. This is a folio Volume, measuring 16½ ins. by 11 ins., and consists of 41 leaves of parchment (though there are signs that some leaves at the end have been cut out), bound in full rough calf, in good condition. On the inside of the back cover is fastened by sealing-wax a piece of parchment on which is written a copy of the will of Henry Lockett of this town, 1790, with bequests to the people of Frisby. The Marriages, Baptisms, and Burials all begin in 1659 and are entered together up to the year 1754, and occupy 49 pages. Then follow Baptisms and Burials up to the year 1812, which occupy 32 pages, and the succeeding pages have been cut out.

Volume II., 1754-1792. This is the usual printed Marriage register on paper, bound in full rough calf, and consists of 50 pages, which are all filled up, and 19 pages of Banns, of which only 11 are used, and those irregularly. It contains 195 certificates. The number of Marriages during this time is totally disproportionate to the population.

Volume III., 1792-1812. This is of the same size and binding as the last, and consists of 92 pages of Banns, of which only nine are used, and 92 pages of Marriages, of which only 20 pages are used.

Volume IV., 1812-1837. This is bound in parchment, and consists of 100 pages, of which 20 are used.

From 1777 to 1790 it will be noticed that the marriages average ten a year, instead of only three or four. During this period the Rev. Wm. Brecknock Wragge was Vicar, and it will be noticed that a large proportion of the marriages were those of persons from other and often distant parishes. The number of irregular marriages at this time earned for Frisby a “Gretna Green” notoriety, and tradition goes so far as to say that at least one couple were married in the parlour of the village inn. Mr. Wragge was eventually suspended from the living—and it is said “banished“ to Ireland (see Nicholls’ Leicestershire.)

The most romantic feature of the Frisby Registers is the following words, scribbled on the flyleaf of Vol. II:— ‘‘from Miss Vanhomnrigh S Dr. Swift declaring her passion for him and complaing [sic.] of his neglect of her believe me it is with him.”

The mother of the celebrated and witty Dean Swift was Abigail Herrick, or Errick, sister of the Rev. Thos. Errick, Vicar of Frisby. A family named Swift was resident in Frisby, as appears by the Registers, in the 17th and 18th centuries, and it seems probable that the Deans father came of this stock and that while living at, or visiting his relatives in, Frisby he fell in love with the vicar’s sister whom he married about two years after her brother’s institution to the living. Thomas Errick died in 1681 and the Dean’s mother in 1710; both are buried at Leicester. As we do not know that the Dean became acquainted with Mrs. Vanhomrigh, the widow of a Dutch merchant, before 1708, it is improbable that this mysterious note in the Frisby registers was penned by one of the Erricks, but whoever wrote, and whatever they meant by it and its meaning is by no means clear this mysterious allusion to the renowned “Vanessa” in the registers of the parish with which the author of “Gulliver’s Travels” was so closely connected, has a romantic interest for the student of English literary history.

These extracts have been made by Miss Lilian Wright by leave of the Rev. T. Wright, Vicar of Frisby, and are now printed under his supervision after collation of the proof with the Register.
