At Bucks RO. The Bishops Transcripts were exp[alined to me as the copies
from the smaller Parishes, of the Registers, as the Bishops did their
ropunds . I am glad to hear of this expanded defintion. Certainly , of
the Parishes in Bicks that I viewed, the Transcripts had no repeats in
them.
Tinny old me. In a Somerset church, I visited, the Registers had been
completely typed on to onion skin and bound . Tha was Dead easy.
