Have photocopied one page of OPRs for 1816, might as well post these so
they are in the Archives. There is no other information in these
handwritten entries, just what I've got here, I'll add punctuation and
clarify abbreviations. Some notations I have no clue as to meaning are
: H. S. probably means Her Surname. O. G. F. P. for an unknown parish
name, O. C. P. also for a Parish name and B. C. which is found in the
place where the minister's name is usually written. Meg Greenwood /
