This transcript was prepared from microfilm
MF 1633 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office. The filming is relatively
recent and is clear reflecting the improvements in filming technique in
recent times. One notable feature of this parish is the rather high frequency of "late" baptisms - not only the family batch baptisms, but also of youngsters and even teenagers of many families being baptised on the same day. Researchers should be certain to check periods later than they expect to find their baptism. The standard of handwriting in the records was the only qualifier to what it is hoped is a relatively accurate transcript. |
