"Ones Town and Ones Parish"
« on: Thursday 29 January 09 19:58 UTC (UK) »
Difficult to put a subject for this!

I have been searching some parish registers in Warwick County Records Office today.
There are several baptisms recorded in the Radway register which say, of the parents," of this town but of the parish of Burton Dassett"  and similar for other local parishes. These were in the first half of the 17thC. Can anyone explain the significance of the wording? Was there some legal status concerning where one lived and where ones parish was?

I think think this is on the wrong board so will move it to Warwickshire.  Feel free to ask me to move it back!

I imagine they had moved away from that town but still had an affinity to it and brought the children back there to be baptised. In the same way if they got into trouble and the Parish had to pay they would be removed back to their original Parish.

The earlier Poor Laws put the responsibility onto the parish of birth unless you changed Parish by what was sometimes termed Legal Settlement which was not all that easily done.

Have a read at http://www.mdlp.co.uk/resources/general/poor_law.htm which explains it in some detail.

Thanks for the replies. Its just that in several years of searching parish registers I had never come across that wording before, and I wondered if it had any special significance or whether it was just an idiosyncracy of the minister of that time.

Personally, I believe it is down to the personality/character of the individual minister ..... I have seen highly diverging comments from ministers of differing parishes regarding families in very similar circumstances.
