REELS 5-22
Banns Books 1733-1928
Recording proclamation of intended marriage repeated three times at weekly intervals prior to the wedding. Generally, these registers record less information than the marriage registers, apart from where a marriage does not take place following the reading of Banns, when often the reason for the cancellation is recorded. This appears to be the case with upto 20% of entries in the first hundred years of books. From Feb 1849 to 20 Oct 1850 records the length of residence at address given and from 20 Jul 1851 also records 'date visited' at the address. The books appear not to record remarks other than 'found', otherwise left blank. The recording of the length of residence gradually fades out during 1878, but the date of the visit of the churchwarden/parish clerk is still recorded.
