The Register Of The Parish Church Of Cartmel In The County Of Lancaster (Part Ii) Weddings & Burials 1690-1727

Private lives, public records: Cartmel’s parish register invites you into the ordinary moments that shaped generations. Records that open family doors. Henry Fishwick’s meticulous transcription of weddings and burials, 1690-1727, preserves entries from the Cartmel Lancashire archives as a readable church register transcription and a focused parish register collection. Presented with clarity, these historical church records capture the essentials: names, dates, relationships and occasional notes; and so function as a practical genealogy sourcebook and a vital records reference. As an ancestry research tool it supports family reconstruction and offers leads for parish- and probate-based research; for those fascinated by ritual and custom, the volume illuminates 17th century weddings, burial practices and the everyday language of early modern burials. The register balances research-grade fidelity with human detail, so it rewards both the genealogist tracing Lancashire family history and the casual reader curious about the texture of rural life.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. Beyond its immediate use in ancestry searches, the book is a primary document for social and local history, useful to demographers, parish historians and the local historians resource community. It sits naturally within the wider catalogue of British parish records and offers a window onto naming patterns, mortality, household composition and community networks in late 17th- and early 18th-century Lancashire. The tone is plain and official, but the cumulative effect is quietly moving: clustered entries trace relationships over time and turn scattered names into a recognisable social landscape. For casual readers who enjoy provenance and place, and for classic-literature collectors who value authentic parish compilations, this edition combines faithful transcription with careful editorial presentation, making the register both accessible and durable for modern research and private curiosity.
