Link: Scropton Parish Records Transcription

[Paul Jones]

WORK IN PROGRESS: The web page below is moving towards a first draft of a transcription of the 1680 to 1809 Parish Records for Scropton, Derbyshire which are not on the IGI.

I haven't got anywhere near halfway and there are a lot of questionable data here because I am working from very poor quality images. I hope to resolve/correct most of these by reference to better quality images once I have completed this first draft. Ultimately, I will index and tabulate this data to make it easier to read. I apologise for publishing such poor quality work but I will update this page regularly and ultimately hope to deliver something usable.

Note on Copyright: I have been reliably informed that Church of England Parish registers belong to the Parish Church concerned and its incumbant vicar. They do NOT belong to the Record Office to which they have been passed. The Church of England do NOT claim copyright. Transcriptions and photographic images of C of E registers can be copyrighted by the transcriber and photographer respectively.

Take care,
Paul

Here is a Tithe map and index of names for Scropton, Derbys, sorted by occupier and dated 1847:

N.B. One or two underlessees are in the description column.

I plan to do Marston-on-Dove & Hoon in Derbyshire and Hanbury, Fauld, Marchington, Tutbury, Hanbury & Anslow just over the border in Staffordshire. Unfortunately, there is no map or index for Hatton, Derbyshire. There is a reference to some corresponence about Hatton which I've yet to look at but it probably explains why Hatton isn't covered by the tithes.

I've already transcribed the tithe map and index for Draycott-in-the-Clay, Staffs, dated 1839 which is here:
