Wilton Parish Records before 1813

The Register

The Register for Wilton Parish is held by the Norfolk Record Office under the reference PD 311/17. As with the Hockwold Register, it is better to use the microfilm version, reference MF/RO 613/6.

In 1538 Thomas Cromwell, Lord Privy Seal, ordered that a Register be kept in every parish to record Births, Marriages and Deaths. Hockwold cum Wilton is not unique in having a cavalier attitude to this duty.

 

Despite the parochial union with Hockwold, a separate register was maintained for Wilton. Prior to the union, there seems to have been no complete records kept, and both registers start with an attempt to remember as much as possible of what went before. Once again, it is possible that words such as 'papar' for paper, and 'paptized' for baptized reflect a local accent. The register itself is a shorter, squarer book than that used at Hockwold, but both books have minor tears, blots and scratches. It is clear that many entries from the time of the Commonwealth have been lost, and even in the entries remembered, the date is sometimes missing. The 'year' ran from the 25^th March, Lady Day, so December 1660 was followed by January 1660, and March 1660 was followed by April 1661.

In 1740, when the two registers were nearly a century old, a curate, Roger Sturgeon wrote his name on the front cover of both of the books, on the same day. The register actually begins with an explanation concerning the previous records. Some of those records were found and copied into this book, but where are the rest now?

Burialls

July 1634 seems to have been a bad month - four burials of which three were adults. It may be a coincidence, but the plague was active in East Anglia at this period, and July and August were always the worst months. The letters ff were used in place of a capital F.

[Page 3]

James Balldin is described as a 'Gentleman', this was not an honorary title, but indicates a real social standing above a 'Master' and below an 'Esquire'. At this time, an engagement to marry was a very serious thing, and signified the start of the marriage, at least in one sense. Nathaniel Blackaby and Dorothy Russell were married in April, and little Nathaniel was born in the August, probably to no-one's surprise. Regrettably, this example of everyday Seventeenth century life is matched by another: before the end of the year, little Nathaniel had been buried. Terribly high infant mortality was a dreadful and painful fact of life. In the case of an illegitimate birth, had there been an engagement, then the man was deemed responsible, otherwise it was held to be the fault of the lady. 'Anno domi' is a truncated form of 'Anno Domini', the Year of our Lord.

[Page 4]

There is a jump of four years from the last entry. The last baptism shows that, although the year officially ended on 24th March, it was sometimes carried on to the end of March. As a warning for family historians, please note that there are two men called John Yongs in the village at this time. The gentry are represented again, this time with the burial of Richard Tivill, described as a 'gentleman'. Another example of infant mortality and the nature of engagements at this time is illustrated by the sad case of Milason and John Richardson. They were married on the1st of June, their daughter Elizabeth was baptised on the 4th of August, and the poor little soul was buried on the 6th of August. None of this would have been considered as exceptional. The problem of how to spell Margaret continues .

The note at the bottom of the year that Gregory Aylemar and William James were "then Church Wardens" is a clue to the way in which these Registers were being written in retrospect at this time - the next entry after 1640 is for twelve years later! It is probable that the existing book is a copy of a collection of earlier pages, some of which managed to get lost. The expression 'sic' (Latin - It is so) is used by historians to indicate that the entry is just as it was written. So, below, Thomas is described as the 'wife (sic)' of William and Elizabeth, not 'son'. The 'sic' means that this is not yet another error on my part, but that's what they wrote.

This side is witnessed by

Gregory Aylemar      then Church

William James           Wardens

[Page 5]

It was mentioned above that Aylemar and James have been described as the then church wardens. There is a gap of twelve years between the last and the next entry. There is just one entry for 1652, and four for 1653, so the registers are still incomplete. The year 1654 shows much more complete, but there are still a few entries out of place - 1653 includes a baptism for 1647, for example. Below are two baptisms - one on March 19th, and one on March 26th. As the year still ends on 25th March, the first entry is in 1653, and the other in 1654. This year has entries which, sadly, are not uncommon. Osbart Bird lost his wife and daughter within the same month. These events are usually associated with the birth of the baby, but in this case, we have no record of the christening of the child. The last two entries on the page are written in a different, much better hand than is the rest of the page. There is an entry for the baptism of Thomas Breckler dated 1562 during 1654 - a slip of the quill, no doubt. In fact there are other entries for 1652 mixed with the 1654 entries. More evidence that this part of the Register was made up some time after the event!

[Page 6]

In the proceeding pages the dates are sometimes jumbled together. The proceeding page has entries between 1647 and 1654. From this page, however, things seem to settle down. Perhaps, at last, the entries are made as things happen, not in retrospect. Although this section is headed 1654, it actual goes on to 1656.

There is clearly an unexplained gap in the middle of 1659 and 1660 is deficient, too. Possibly this reflects the end of the Commonwealth and the accession of Charles II. The republican inhabitants of Hockwold Hall were ejected at this time, so there may have been quite a disturbance in the village.

There is a reference to Thomas Rendolph who is referred to as a 'Clarke', a common description of a churchman in those times. Also, in 1661 Adam Stallan is described as a Batchelor of Arts, a person also usually associated with the church. The union of the parishes around this time under the Rector of Hockwold needs some investigation as to what happened in Wilton.

                                                            1662

Although high infant mortality means that there are always many burials, 1662 is unusual in that no less than 21 adults were buried. Four adults had also died in November and December of 1661.Of the deaths in 1662, three were strangers - a fourth stranger died just at the start of 1663.  Two of these, Mrs Hoomes and Nicholas Upshot drowned on the same day. This is the first time a cause of death is reported. Is this the work of Mr Hoomes? More seriously, it looks as though disease was at work, and the two chief suspects are plague and smallpox. Smallpox, like influenza, is a virus spread during dry, chilly winter months. However, of the 18 unexplained deaths, 12 took place between April and October and this is more characteristic of the plague. It is also interesting that Mr and Mrs Ashfield died within a few days; multiple deaths within one household also looks like plague. The last great outbreak of plague in the region started in Norwich in October of 1665, but the disease had been endemic in England since the Middle Ages, so it is interesting, but no surprise, to find a possible outbreak in the village at this time.

There seems to be a low number of entries in 1663 after the activity of the previous year, however, there was one more stranger to die first. Someone forgot that the entry for Pleasance Towler should have marked a new year, so there is no acknowledgement of 1664.

This page begins with an entry for Miller written very, very faintly, who was baptised in the early days of the year 1970/71. This means there is a gap between November 1669 and March 1669/70 i.e. up to the end of the 'year' 1669/70. There is then a gap and a calculation for the age of someone who died in 1746 aged 62. The Register begins again with a reprise of the entry for Miller, this time written in a strong, new hand. Did a Clerk or Churchwarden die between November and March to cause this gap?

As recorded here, John Aylmer was baptised twice, once on 19th February and again on 4th May! The second entry uses 'the' instead of the usual 'ye'.

Also, it is not clear why 1741 is written above 1671.

There is some confusion over form for the Marriage(?) of William Whistler.

The entry for the burial of Robert Kenton notes that he was parish clerk for both towns i.e. courtesy titles for Hockwold and Wilton. He was married to Katherine and the burials of three of his children are noted.

There is a long fold or crack on this page which makes some entries a little difficult to read. The first entry has two spellings for Elizabeth. The entry for Clough has, written subscript, the additional Christian names Rogr and Philomalty. These are the names of the Guttings family a few entries further on. It seems likely that the Register was still being made up in arrears, and this odd entry might represent some confusion by the clerk. The entry for Stephens - with the mother's name missing - also suggests that the Register was not made up at the time of the event.

The entry for marriage starting with "Stallon" is odd in that this is the surname of the lady. Possibly the unusual name of the bridegroom confused the clerk. There are a number of inappropriate punctuation marks spread over this page, including the rare semi-colon. The spelling of 'Margaret' continues to be a puzzle for the writer(s). The entry for Beckles/Brickles could have been more specific about her great age: interestingly, a Thomas Breckles died in 1657, 1659 and 1671. Robert Tyrell is obviously socially superior - he is an 'esquire' Earlier Tyrells have been called Mr and Mrs (i.e. Master and Mistress), so this is a special family!

April 1678 seems to have seen an unusually large number of deaths. Later deaths include a Mistress Pleasance and a Robert Dennison who was just visiting or passing through. The Latin "Idem" has been used to mean "the same person(s)" where a burial unhappily follows a baptism. The rare, if not unique, Zenolphus appears as a Christian name for the first time.

From January 1680 the Register is written by somebody new, thankfully, he is reasonably clear, and he uses the simple style 'son of' and 'daught(e)r of''.  There is still a struggle with 'Margaret', and a new, curious, surname of Whalibilly/Whalebelly appears. Poor William Miller looses his new born twins, and his wife, all within a week.

The entry for the baptism of Roger Newale was not entered until the entry for his burial ten months later. Coupled with the fact that it is common to find entries out of order, this suggests that the Register was made up in arrears, and that some entries were forgotten. The entry for fforeman also has the spelling Foreman, this is the first example of a modern form for the capital F. It does not catch on right away though.

The contraction 'prdict' is an odd one, and seems to mean 'previously mentioned'. The double burial of a wife and her child is a sad one.

King Charles II died in what is now called February 1685, but which was then February 1684. This next year, which has February 1684/5 near its end, does not start with the regnal year of the King and this would seem to show that the Register was made up only at the end of each year. Charles' successor was his brother, James II, who ruled until 1688 when he was ousted by William and Mary. This change of monarch was caused by, and made acceptable to the English, because of James' increasing Catholicism. The keepers of this Register, writing while James was still on the throne, chose not to describe this as the first year of James' reign, perhaps, even at this point, he was under suspicion from the Protestant establishment.

For the first time there is some reference to the home villages of men coming to marry in Wilton.

There is a large tablet memorial to Mary Colborne who died on the 30th November 1683. Her burial is recorded here as Mary Colbourn on 3rd December. This is a rare chance to see the difference between date of death and burial. Mary's maiden name was Tyrell, and this family has been noted above as been of the 'quality'. The burial of her mother, Mary Tyrell, is noted above in 1672 which gives the name of her father as Robert - also noted on the tablet.

From this year the date style changes around so, instead of, for example, 3 March, we now have March 3. There is an unusual group of adult deaths, and a paucity of other events which suggests that the Register is not complete, and that some disease - smallpox? - had visited Wilton.

Another of Wilton's worthies is referred to - Mistress Catherine Broomfield. The sudden appearance of 'Christian' as a female forename is noteworthy (although there was one in 1658), but its repetition on the next line may be suspect.

Before 1714 when George I came to the throne, George had been a rare English forename. There had been a few in Wilton, properly spelled,  but now comes a fashion for spelling the name as 'Georg'.

The eighteenth century reaches Wilton, and the Register is now written in a much more modern hand - at least for this year - the format is a little different, and a capital F appears instead of ff. 'ye' is still 'the'.

Thomas Macro signed the Hockwold Register as Rector in 1720. Here he signs as Vicar of Wilton. The Clough family was an important local family, a widow Clough warrants a Latin entry, the single n in Susana has a bar above it to show a letter has been omitted, a Latinism, but the dat is missing. The year heading is written in the same hand as the previous year, but there is a new angular hand for the actual entries.

There is a further example of very quick re-marriages here. Ezekiel Rule lost his daughter, then his wife in September, and by November he was married to Mary Browne.

The entry for Mary Mammant suggests she comes from 'Milner'; however, this does not seem to be a place, so perhaps is should be 'formerly Milner' as Milner is a name found in Norfolk but not Hockwold cum Wilton).

Some of the usual information is omitted here; there are a number of burials which may or may not be children, and there are three burials recorded for Sarah Westwood. Perhaps the Register has been made up from another source. It is late for plague, and the wrong time of year, but it could be tuberculosis.

In earlier years the 21^st of each month was entered as 21th standing for one-and twentieth, here the more modern version can be found.

 

The marriage of Susan and Osbert is the last one recorded in this Register. Hardwicke's Marriage Act of 1753 laid down strict rules for properly legal marriages, including better recording. Changes for baptisms and burials had to wait until Rose's Act of 1812. The new rules for marriage outlawed several irregular or casual forms of marriage, and children born of parents not married according to the rules were to be described as 'base born'. There does seem to be an increase in the number of such children in the next few years. Perhaps it reflects a traditional easy-going attitude to forms of marriage. Certainly the Register is kept in a very slipshod fashion in some years.

[These first two entries pose a problem. However, there was an Adam Mole, son of Adam and Mary baptised January 13, 1765, and it is probable that the first entry is of his burial. There was a second Moll family, Adam and Sarah who had a daughter, Frances, in February 1764. It is probable that the second entry is the baptism of their second child which, possibly  in sympathy, they also called Adam. Another possibility is that the two entries have been swapped over, Buri being written for Bap in the first line, and vice versa for the second. Unhappily, an entry recording the burial of Adam Mole would settle the matter.]

Rose's Act of 1812 laid down that Registers for births/baptisms, marriages and deaths/burials should be of a standard form in books specially printed, to be purchased from government printers at the expense of the parish. The nineteenth centry had arrived, and the book that had served Wilton since 1634 was finally closed.
