The Register Of Haslemere; Co. Surrey. Baptisms 1594- 1812 Marriages 1573 - 1812 Burial 1573--1812 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354305894)

A ledger of lives from a Surrey parish. Names return, line by line. The Register of Haslemere, Co. Surrey reproduces the parish register collection for Haslemere, presenting church register transcripts of baptisms (1594-1812), marriages (1573-1812) and burials (1573-1812). As historical church records, these entries are indispensable to family history research: plain entries and marginal notes provide the raw data genealogists need, while the steady cadence of names and dates offers casual readers an intimate view of community life. This practical genealogy sourcebook lays out continuity, custom and sudden change in a single place. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. More than a list of names, the Haslemere Surrey records are a British genealogy resource and an ancestry research tool that links households across centuries. Rooted in 16th century England and extending into the early 1800s, these old English parish records show patterns of naming, marriage and mortality, occasional occupational tags and the small notations that add texture to Surrey local history. Taken together, the transcripts permit demographic glimpses - naming traditions, infant mortality rates, remarriage patterns - that social historians and family historians use as primary evidence. The plain, unadorned entries allow present-day readers to overhear parish life: christenings, banns and funerals that, in aggregate, explain migration, kinship and the rhythms of rural existence. Used alongside wills, maps and estate papers, the register bridges documentary fragments and narrative history. Casual readers encounter personal fragments; family history researchers gain corroboration and fresh leads; classic-literature collectors and local-history archivists prize the book as a cultural artefact that preserves communal memory. Accessible, authoritative and quietly moving, this edition makes primary church material usable for anyone tracing lineage or seeking a direct encounter with the past.
