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 25th 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? [Page 1 (the cover outside)]
1634 A Register Book For the Parish Of Wilton Anno Domni 1663 (Inside cover) Roger Sturgeon Curate of This Parish June 28th 1740 [Page 2] Note that ffrom the yeare 1627 untill the year 1663 there was nor Register kept in this Parish according to the Cannons of the Church Of England But what was Registered was done in certtaine slips of papar and in a papar booke which for the more safe preserving of them we have thought our duty to enter them in to this booke There is a strip missing from the right hand side of the page . The names of such as ware Baptized married and - in the yeare 1634 Mary the daughter of William Maldin and Dorathry his - Thomas the sonne of Thomas Jackson and Margrit his - Richard the sone of Harvow (?) and Anne his wife Alice the daughter of James Aylemar & Alice his - Peeter the sonne of Peeter Mason and Elizabeth - Ann the daughter of Nicholas Atkins and Jane his wife - Osbart thee sonne of Osbar Bird and Thomasin his - William the sonne of Thomas Nuale and Ann his wife - John the sonne of Thomas Virdin and Sarah his wife was Paptized November the 2nd William the sonne of John Rumballow Ann his wife Baptized November ye 7th John the sonne of George Aylemar and Milisen his wife was paptized January ye 22 Elizabeth the daughter of John Hoomess Elizabeth his wife was Baptized ffebruary ye first Elizabeth ye daughter of Thomas Yonges and Elizabeth his wife was Baptized ffebruary ye 15 James the sonne of James Pratt and Elizabeth his wife was Baptized ffebruary ye 16 The list ends with what looks like a signature of a churchwarden - Chilleth, perhaps. London (?) Marriages Thomas Nuale and Ann Cosborne ware Married the 25 day of June John Elmer and Elizabeth Poope ware Married the 21 day of September William Grene and Luce Clarke ware married the second day of October There follows two names or signatures, possibly of churchwardens, in a different hand . Thomas A(?) Christopher Adamson Of Whearam 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. Thomas Eastry was Buried the ffirst day of July Philip Austin was Buried the ffoarth day of July Alice Sawlin wase Buried the Sixt day of July Thomas Whitherall the sonne of Thomas Whitherall and Anne his wife was Buried ye 1f July John Hudson was Buried the 9th day of Noevember Elinor Pidgeon widow was Buried 26 day of November Peter Mason was Buried 30 Day of December (?) Thomas Wiliamson was Buried the of January Elizabeth Wright was Buried the third of ffebruary Agnis ffaller widow was Buried the 7th of March [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. The names of all such as have beene Baptized Married and buried Anno domi 1635 William the sonne of William and Elen his wife was Baptized the 29th day of March James the sonne of James Balldin Gent & Mary his wife was Baptized the 22 day of Aprill Edmund the sonne of Edmund Barrett and Margary his wife was Baptized ye 17 day of May Elizabeth ye daughter of John Stallan and Jane his wife was Baptized ye 12 day of July Nathaniell ye sonne of Nathaniell Blackaby and Dorathey his wife was Baptized ye 2nd day of August Edmund & Mary ye sonne & daughter of Robt Baker and Agnes his wife was Baptized ye 6 day of September Katherin ye daughter of Peter (?)

Alice Seagor widdow an ould woman was Buried ye 20 day of November This side is Wittnesed by John Mason) ther Church John Ayleman) Wardens [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. The names of all those that ware Baptized Married and Buried theire Anno Domi 1640 Elizabeth the daughter of Nicholas Atkin & Joane his wife was Baptised ye 26 day of Aprill Thomas the sonne of Thomas Newell & Agness his wife was Baptised ye 10 day of May Edmund the sonne of Anthony Callow & Enim (?) his wife was Baptised ye Second day of August Elizabeth the daughter of John Richardson & Milison his wife was Baptised ye 4th day of August Thomas & Mary ye sonne & daughter of Thomas Davy was Baptized the sixt of August John the sonne of John Aylmas & Elizabeth his wife was Baptised ye 13 day of September Mary the daughter of John Chrston & Elizabeth his wife was Baptised ye 27 day of September Thomas the sonne of Thomas Sutton & Roose his wife was Baptised ye 4th of October Susan the daughter of William Rix and debora his wife was Baptised ye 18th day of October Margaret the daughter of William Sutton and Jone his wife was Baptised ye 26 day of December Elizabeth the daughter of George Ayleman & Milason his wife was Baptised ye 28 day of December Jane the daughter of John Stallan & Jane his wife was Baptised ye 28 day of January Margaret the daughter of John Yongs & Dorathey his wife was Baptised ye last day of January Christopher ye sonne & Anne the daughter of Christopher Morly & Anne his wife ware Baptised ye 13th day of ffebruary Robart ye sonne of John Goodwin & Elizabeth his wife was Baptised ye 21 day of ffebru Elizabeth the daughter of John Youngs & Magratt his wife was Baptised ye same day Richard ye sonne of Thomas Banham & Kathrin his wife was Baptised ye 7th of March Henry ye sonne of Thomas West & Marion (?) his wife was Baptised ye twentieth day of March Thomas the wife (sic) of William Sutton & Elizabeth his wife was Baptised ye 29 0f March.

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! Ann the daughter of ffrancis Waid and Ann his wife was baptised the thirty day of December 1652. Elizabeth Chraglon was Buried January ye 7th 1653 John Rumball was Buried January the 10 1653 The widow Bastow was Buried ffebruary the 26 1653 Ffrancis Hilton the sonne of ffrancis Hilton & Elizabeth his wife was Bapt March 19 1653 Thomas the sonne of Robert Neele was Baptized March ye 26 1654 Gregary Ayleman was Burried Aprill the 4th 1654 Elizabeth Taylor widow was Buried May the 9 1654 Kathering at the Limekill was Buried May the 28 1654 Suzana Hudson was Buried June the 24 1654 George the sonne of Edmund Sutten was Baptized July the 23 1654 Buried the same the 6th of August 1654 Elizabeth Sutten was Buried September the 3rd 1654 Suzan the daughter of William Seagon & Alice his wife was Baptized Sept y 10 1654 Thomasin the wife of Osbart Bird was Buried October the first 1654 Ann the daughter of William Traice & Ann his wife was Baptized Sept 28 1654 Thomasin the daughter of Osbart Bird was Buried October the 21 1654 William Stallan and Ann Docking ware married November ye 10 1654 Elizabeth the wife of Abraham Towler was Buried November ye 18 1654 Robert Bennett was Buried December ye first 1654 Buried the wife of Robert Kenlon the last of December 1654 Ann the daughter of Osbert Witherell and Elizabeth his wife was Baptized January ye 13 1654 Thomas the sonne of Thomas Breckler and May his wife was baptized Aprill the third day 1562 (sic) Winifred ye daughter of John Goodwing was Baptized January ye 14 1654 Susan the daughter of Robart Kenlon was Batized ye 11 day of Aprill 1652 John ye sonne of ffrancis Hoother was Baptized Aprill ye 11 1652 John Sutton the sonn of Cleer Sutton and Anne his wife was babtised the 4th of August 1647 Thomas Sutton the sonn of Cleer Sutton and Anne his wife was babtised the 4th of November 1654 [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. 1654 Suzan Taylor was Buried June the 17 1654 William ye sonne of John Lillley and Suzan his wife was Baptized January ye 21 1654 Ann the daughter of Osbart Withered and Elizabeth his wife was Buried January ye last Henry ye sonne of William Manning & Elizabeth his wife was Bapt ffebruary 25 John Drapar a diker was Buried March ye 17 1654 Thomas Stallan and Audrey Hung ware Married March ye 29 1655 Ffrancis ye sonne of ffrancis Wace & Ann his wife was Bapt March ye 29 1655 Mary ye daughter of Thomas Verdin and Jane his wafe (sic) was Bapt Aprill ye 5 1655 Robart ye sonne of Thomas Myles and Mary his wife was Bapt Aprill ye 24 1655 And was buried Aprill the 26 1655 Ann Gyles Widdow was Burried the 26 of May 1655 Edmund ffuller and Elizabeth Cheston (?) booth of Wilton ware married June ye 7 1655 George Aylemare was Buried June ye 15 1655 Mary the daughter of Thomas Stallon & Audrey his wife was Bapt July ye 15 1655 Margret ye daughter of John Yongs and Margery his wife was Bapt July ye 29 1655 Ann ye daughter of John Andrews and Mary his wife was Baptized November ye 21 1655 Abraham ye sonne of Abraham Morly and Alice his wife was Bapt Octobr ye 21 1655 and was Buried December ye 28 1655 William James and Prudence Bennett widow ware married January ye first 1655 Marion ye daughter of William Tomson and Marian his wife was Bapt ffebruary ye 12 1655 Joseph the sonne of Robart Daleman and ffrancis his wife was Bapt March ye 2d 1655` Mary ye daughter of Thomas Shloeman (?) and May his wife was Bapt March ye 9 1655 Mathew the sonne of Robert & Ribecka Neele was Bapt Aprill ye 13 1656 Elizabeth ye daughter of Robert Cheston & Plesance his wife was Bapt Aprill ye 20 1656 Anthony ye sonne of Thomas Tirell gent and Sisly his wife was Bapt May ye 3d 1656 Margrett the wife of Roger ffuller was Buried May ye 14 1656 Stephen Stooks and Joone Drakon ware married Aprill ye 27 1656 May ye daughter of Thomas Miles and Mary his wife was Bapt May ye 17 1656 Winafrid ye daughter of John Goodwing was Buried May ye 23 1656 William ye sonne of William Nallen was Buried ye same day (23/5/1656) Mathew ye sonne of Robert Neele was Buried May the 27 1656 Mary the daughter of Thomas Miles was Buried May ye last 1656 Elizabeth the daughter of was Bapt June ye 15 (1656) Thomas ye sonne of Osbart Bird and Margritt his wife was Bapt August ye 30 1656 John ye sonne of Thomas Person and Philadelphia his wife was Bapt September ye 7 1656 Nathaniell Shaflin and Susan Valian ware married September ye 11 1656 John Piner and An Moltary ware married September ye 12 1656 William the son of Christopher Yangs and Jane his wife was Bapt Sept ye 21 1656 William ye sonne of William Seagor and Alice his wife was Bapt October 16 1656 Charles ye sonne of ffrancis Hilton was Bapt November ye 2d 1656 Bridget ye daughter of William Maning was Buried November ye 5 1656 Mary ye daughter of Robert Kenlon and Kathrin his wife was Bapt December ye 7 1656 Mary ye daughter of Abraham Towler was Bapt December ye 21 1656 Robart ye sonne of Pertian Coopar and Magratt his wife was Bapt January ye 1 1656 William grime and Ellin Shillin ware married ffebruary ye 5 1656 Pleasance the daughter of Robart Chestar was Bapt ffebruary ye 5 1656 Ffrancis ye sonne of ffrancis Waid was buried March ye 24 1656 [Page 7] 1657 Here we have the dialect form Joone for Joan. Tivill is mentioned again as a gentleman. Another not uncommon fact of country life is illustrated by Nathaniel Shaften. His wife died on August 17th, and he remarried on October 6th. Thomas Breckles was buried March ye 26 1657 Ann ye daughter of William Stallan & Ann his wife was Bapt March ye last John ye sonne of ffrancis Wace (?) & Ann his wife was Bapti Aprill ye 17 1657 Dorathry ye daughter of William Rix and Suzan his wife was Bapt Aprill 26 Robart the sonne of John Livery & Marian his wife was Bapt June ye 5 1657 William Moplid & Élan Robarts widow booth of ffouldin (?) ware married July the 16 1657 William Grigson and ffrances Ivie booth single and booth of Lakeningheath ware married June the 24 1657 John Watson & Mary Greene booth single persons and boothe of Methwould ware married June the 24 1657 Richard Manning and Mary Tooke boothe single parsons and booth Of Hillborough ware married June the 24 1656 (sic) Mary ye daughter of Nathaniell Shaplin and Susan his wife was Baptiz August ye 2nd Thomas ye soone of Thomas Stallon & Audrey his wife was Bapt August ye 8 Susan the wife of Nathaniel Shaftin was Buried August ye 17 1657 William Vincent and Joone Bishop booth single & booth of ffeltwell ware married August 24 Elizabeth ye daughter of Osbart Withered & Elizabeth his wife was buried Aug 22 Debora ye daughter of William Rix & Susan his wife was buried September 2nd 1657 John Sparke widower and Alice Drinkmilk widd ware married September 17 1657 Sara ye daughter of Abraham Morly and Margrett his wife was Bapt October 7 1657 Osbart Nuale & Margarett Debney ware married October ye 8 1657 Nathaniel Shaftin & Elizabeth Stratton was married October ye 6 1657 William ye sonne of William Piner & Ann his wife was Bapt October ye 11 1657 William Bankham & Christen Couldham ware married October ye 13 1657 John ye sonne of John Spencer & Ann his wife was Bapt October ye 23 1657 Margrett Aylemar widow was Buried October the last 1657 John ye sonne of John Spencer & Ann his wife was Buried November ye 21 1657 Sarah ye daughter of Abraham Morly was Buried November ye 22 1657 William James an Ould man was Buried December ye 21 1657 Thomas ye sonne of William Manning was Baptised December ye 27 1657 John Whistler was Buried January the 9 1657 Thomas Jackson was Buried January ye 21 1657 Ann ye late wife of Richard Johnson was Buried January ye 19 1657 Mary Shaften was Buried ffebruary ye 2nd 1657 Margrett ye daughter of John Brast & Ann his wife was Bapt ffebruar ye 12 Ffrances ye daughter of Robart Bateman & ffrances his wife was Bapt ffebb 23 657 Margratt ye daughter of Henry Whistler and Margret his wife was Bapt ffebb 27 1657 John Vinson and Abigall Ward widow ware married March ye 16 1657 Mary the daughter of William James & Prudence his wife was Bapt March 19 [Page 8] 1658 Mary ye daughter of Edmand Sutton & Elizabeth his wife was Baptised March ye 28 Mary ye late wife of Thomas Sheereman was Buried March ye 30 1658 Elizabeth ye daughter of Abraham Towler was Buried Aprill 4th 1658 Dorothy Morley widow was Buried May ye 5 1658 Osbart Kitheringham & Joone Sutton ware married May ye last 1658 Margrett Parlett widow was Buried June ye 8 1658 Margrett ye daughter of Edward Miller & Margarett his wife was Bapt July ye 10 Edmund Barrett was Buried August ye 10 1658 Margarett ye daughter of John Yonger & Margery his wife was Bapt Septt 24 1658 Sara ye daughter of Osbart Withered & Elizabeth his wife was Bapt October ye 11 Ffrancis Chiston & Elizabeth Winsh widow ware Married November ye 2nd 1658 Jonathan ye son of John Spencer & Ann his wife was Baptised November ye 9 1658 And was buried not long after Jane ye late wife of Christopher Yonger was Buried November ye 18 1658 George ye sonne of Robart Stphens (sic) and Ann his wife was Baptised November ye 2nd Mary ye daughter of William Tomson was Buried December 10 1658 John Goodwing was Buried December the 12 1658 Margarett ye daughter of William ffuller & Elizabeth his wife was Baptised decemb ye 13 Mary ye daughter of Thomas Miles & Mary his wife was Baptised December ye 18 Margarett ye daughter of Thomas Randolph & Margarett his wife was Baptised December the 22 1658 Ann ye daughter of Thomas Tivill Gent & Sisely his wife was Baptised December ye 24 Mary ye daughter of Robart Rose & Ann his wife was Baptised January ye 10 1658 Robart the sonne of John ffield & Mary his wife was Baptised March ye 8 1658 William Pidgeon and Christian Sego ware married March ye 8 1658 Thomas James was Buried March ye 11 1658 1659 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. Amye ye daughter of Osbart Kiteringham & Jone his wife was Baptised March ye 27 1659 Elizabeth Juby ye daughter of Edward Juby & Elisabeth his wife was Baptised Aprill ye 10 1659 Margrett ye daughter of Edward Miller was Buried Aprill ye 14 1659 Thomas Breckles was Buried Aprill the 23 1659 [Gap] ffrancis ye son of ffrancis Waed & Ann his wife was Baptised November ye 3rd 1659 Alice the wife of James Aylemar was Buried December ye 11 1659 [Page 9] 1660 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. Elizabeth ye daughter of John ffield & Mary his wife was Baptised November 8 John & Robert ye sonnes of William Manning ware Baptised November ye 11 1660 and one of them buried the same weeke Ffrancis ye sonne of Robart Smith & Ann his wife was Baptised November ye first Rebecka ye daughter of John Ayleman was Baptised November Margarett ye wife of Thomas Randolph Clarke was Buried December ye 12 1660 David ye sonne of Thomas Person & Alice his wife was Baptised January ye 3rd 1660 Charles ye sonne of Roger Watts & Mary his wife was Baptised January ye 5th Charles ye sonne of ffrancis Hilton was Baptised January ye 6th 1660 William the sonne of Thomas Callow & Mary his wife was Baptised January ye 31 Edward the sonne of Robart Stevens and Ann his wife was Baptised ffebruary ye 18 1661 In view of the increased adult mortality in 1662, the four adult burials in September and November are significant and are discussed under 1662.

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.

Someone forgot that the entry for Pleasance Towler should have marked a new year, so there is no acknowledgement of 1664.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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). ________________________________________________________________________________ 1724 Ab Annunciatione 1724 Ad Annunciationum 1725 Thornton - Katherine Daughter of Wm & Mary - Bap: Mar 27 Carter - John Son of Richd & Ann - Bap: April 14th Whitehead - John Son of Edmd & Ann - Bap: May 22 Berry - Mary Daughter of Robert & Elizabth - Bap: June 6th Gilman - Mary Daughter of Stephen & Martha - Bap: June 7th Walker - Ann Daughter of Tho: & Elizth - Bap: June 10th Gilman - Mary Daughter of Stephen & Martha - Bur: June 21 Tyson - Willm son of John & Elizth - Bap: June 23 Veale - Ann Daughter of Willm & Elizth - Bap: June 27 Rule - Mary Daughter of Ezekiel & Sarah - Bap: July 9th Rule - Mary Daughter of Ezekiel & Sarah - Bur: July 9th Clark - William - Bur: Augt 27th Rule - Sarah wife of Ezekiel - Bur: Sep: 29 Clark - Margaret - Widow - Bur: Sep: 29 Smyth - John & Mary Best - Mar: Oct: 8 Rule - Ezekiel & Mary Browne - Mar: Nov 12 Mammant - Mary Wid: from Milner - Bap (sic s/b Bur): Nov 14 Birdison - Roger - Bur: Nov: 17 Denton - Mary Daughter of Jno & Mary - Bap:Dec: 9 Deeks - Edward & Ann Ryal - Mar: Dec: 28 Cheston - Eleanor Daughter of Jno & Elizth - Bap: Bap: Jan: 10 Field - John Son of Wm & Mary - Bur: feb: 16 [New page] Walker - Ann Daughter of Tho & Elizabrth - Bap: March 14 Farsly - Ann Daughter of Osbert & Ann - Bur: Mar 23 Here is another Widow buried, this time from Denver, which does exists.

In earlier years the 21st 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.]
