Nympsfield Marriages to 1754

Transcript taken from :GLOUCESTERSHIRE NOTES AND QUERIES, VOL. VI, 1894-5.

The spelling, grammar and notes are all as recorded in Gloucestershire Notes and Queries. Any additions to the original, such as these notes, are shown in navy coloured text.


NOTE:- The first volume is parchment and is described as having been bought by Garrat Shillam and John Pearce, Churchwardens. As no earlier register exists, and this one is described as made "by an order from the Reverend Mr. Richard Parsons, Chancellor of Gloucester" it seems probable that registration had previously been neglected in this parish. This first volume contains also baptisms and burials and a terrier of the glebe lands. Many of the marriages recorded were of people not resident in the parish. It will be observed also, that the absurd spelling "Nymphsfield," from a fancied association of the name with "Nymph" derives no authority from the most ancient register extant of the parish. The cloth working industry has long departed from the village, but the entries in the registry prove that it once flourished here. This transcript has been prepared by the Rev. James Silvester, Rector of Nimpsfield, and is now printed by his permission.
