Phillimore's Marriages - Keyham 1568 to 1837

Keyham is a member of the ancient Soke of Rothley. The following is a description of its earlier registers.

Volume I. consists of 20 leaves of parchment in cardboard covers, measuring 13½ in. by 5 in., and contains Baptisms and Burials, 1563 to 1655 and Marriages 1568 to 1655, mixed. This is a transcript of an earlier register book made about 1633, each page being attested by Thomas Sampson, then minister of Keyham, and the churchwardens. Some portion of the book is a little difficult to decipher, but otherwise its condition is tolerably good.

Volume II., a similar book to the above, consists of 15 leaves of parchment, same size as No. 1, in stout paper covers. This contains all classes of entries, mixed, from 1656 to about 1719. Condition bad. Several leaves have been cut at the bottom and a few entries appear to be missing.

Volume III. is also of parchment in parchment boards, the leaves, 17 in number, measuring 12 in. by 7 in., a few of which have been cut short and several bound up in their wrong order. This volume appears to contain Baptisms and Burials from 1711 to 1759 and 1771 to 1783, and Marriages, 1723 to 1753.

Volume IV. — Marriages, 1754 to 1771. This is the usual Marriage Register of printed forms, consisting of 7 leaves of parchment in paper covers, 15½ in, by 9¾ in. This volume also contains Baptisms and Burials, 1757 to 1779.

Volume V — Marriages only, 1771 to 1812. A folio volume of paper leaves, 14½ in. by 9¾ in., printed forms, bound in boards. This also contains Banns, 1771 to 1790. Some of the leaves are blank.

Volume VI. — Baptisms and Burials, 1783 to 1804, on 6 parchment leaves, 13¾ in. by 9¾ in. in parchment boards.

Volume VII. — Baptisms and Burials, 1805 to 1812, on 4 parchment leaves, 13¼ in. by 9 in. (8 leaves blank) in parchment boards.

Volume VIII. — Marriages only, 1813 to 1837. This is the usual folio volume of paper leaves, size 15½ in. by 9¾ in., printed forms in vellum hoards. There are 100 pages of which eleven are used, and 32 forms filled in.

These marriage entries, 294 in number, have been abstracted by Mr. Henry Hartopp, of Leicester, by permission of the Rev. Dr. Sanders, Rector, and the Churchwardens of Keyham.
