Different Versions of Yarmouth parish registers?
« on: Friday 03 February 17 22:54 GMT (UK) »
I have found under Norfolk Family History Society's web search NORS service that there must be two versions of the Yarmouth registers.

Samuel King married Rose Bower Soanes in 1795 and has several children at Yarmouth in the early 1800s.

However the parish register images on familysearch/ancestry do not show an occupation for the father, while the transcription on NORS does list an occupation.

So it would appear that there must be two versions of the registers.

I am assuming that there were BTs and parish registers and this might be it, but not sure.

Below are the images of the baptism and the entry on NORS showing the difference.

Can anyone please shed any light on this?

Many thanks,
Jon

NORS description says the Yarmouth baptisms are both parish registers and Archdeacons transcripts.
