Wiltshire / Re: Hindon Baptisms and Burials for PERRETT
« on: Sunday 24 June 07 09:42 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
The following information came from the Perrett Society family notes Volume 4 Summer 1987
Wiltshire Record Society Publications Vol.40 Wiltshire Dissenters. Meeting House Certificates and Registrations (1689 - 1852) (J.H.Chandler)
The Toleration Act of 1689 only allowed congregation or assembly for worship other than in a recognised church building if the place was certified in advance to the Bishop, Archdeacon, Justices of the peace or Quarter Sessions, The act was repealed in 1852.
There is then a page of entries i have copied the following two
Entry 662
23 April 1805 (25 April 1808) West Coulston in Edington. The house of Richard Perrett now inhabited by John Perritt. Baptist (Dissenters who scruple infant baptism). T Wastfield, John Elem (WRO D I/9/2/4)
Entry 961
20 Jan. 1821 Fonthill Giffard (sic) . A house in the possession of Francis Harding, the property of Samuel Wheeler. Charles Crickmay of Fonthill Giffard, John Perrett, Henry Biddescomb. (WRO DI/9/2/1)
The above is from George Perrett. I have included this item to show that "Dissenting" was quite common and is probably one reason why it is difficult to find some baptisms and marriages, Look at these types of records. (In PRO.)
hope the above is of some interest
