Compiled by Michael. J.E.Gater, 268 Main Road, New Duston, Northampton NN5 6PP.

Information for this index has been taken from various sources. Where the original record has been consulted the exact entry has been given. However, it has been necessary to condense some of the longer entries (Census records, wills etc.) and in all instances researchers should check the original source as no guarantee is given for any possible error during the transcription and typing process of the index.

When research on this name commenced, many of the original records were held in the individual parish. The source reference, therefore, merely indicates the record and does not state where it is held at the present time.

It is stressed that this index is only an aid to research and the original record SHOULD ALWAYS BE EXAMINED. Experience over many years has shown that significant differences can occur between parish register and bishops transcript entries and between original records and copies.
