Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The most widely known of church records are parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials. For the Anglican church in England these commenced in 1538, though few original registers survive from this date. The contents of a few however were copied into later registers as a result of a Constitution of the Province of Canterbury (1598) which required parchment registers to be kept and previous baptisms, marriages and burial entries be copied into them, especially from the beginning of the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1 (1558). Not all parishes complied and gaps are inevitable prior to 1598. |
