The spelling, grammar and notes are all as recorded in the original document. Any additions to the original, such as these notes, are shown in blue coloured text.
NOTE. - The Parliamentary return states that the earliest Register commences in 1755. This is incorrect. The first Register Book in which Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials follow in fairly regular chronological order, consists of 24 parchment leaves. 5.75 by 11.25 [inches], of which the 13th has been mutilated, and entries between March and September, 1756 are perhaps missing. The second leaf is inscribed " A Register Book for the parish of Woolpen, beginning this year 1686/7"; but there are on the other side five Baptisms extending over the period 29 May 1677 to 9 April 1685. On the succeeding leaf is the entry:- - Marriages none this year 1686/7 and though the Register continues without gaps, no marriages appear until that of Edward Veriby in 1697. This transcript has been made by the editor and the Rev. W. B. Benison, Rector of Uley with Owlpen, by whose permission it is now printed.

Note:- This is the only marriage which has taken place at Owlpen during the present reign.
The above note is incorrect. See below.
1837 to 1897.
This transcription is taken from Volume 2 of Gloucestershire Parish Registers - Marriages, edited by W.P.W. Phillimore, M.A., B.C.L., and published in 1897 by Phillimore & Co.
NOTE.—In the first volume of Gloucestershire Marriage Registers, p. 61, it is stated that only one marriage has taken place at Owlpen during the present reign. This statement was made by an inadvertence, though not on the part of the Editor, by which the last volume of the marriage registers was overlooked. Under these circumstances it seems desirable to print the remainder of the Owlpen weddings which have taken place during this reign. It will be seen that they number only eighteen. The transcript has been made by the Rev. J. Lemon Redfern, M.A., curate of Uley-cum-Owlpen, and is now printed under his supervision.
