The vast majority of people on the penance list were guilty of "ffornication". A few had committed "adultrey". The penance list began on 1st Jan. 1743/4 with Henry WHITTACRE (clandestine marriage). Next entry was November 1744 Martha WHITTAKER , wife of Henry WHITTAKER (clandestine marriage).
No reason recorded for excommunications.
These are the first excommunication and penance registers I've seen on LANOPC.
Also new on LANOPC are baptism, marriage and burial registers (1700's) of Darwen and Tockholes parishes which were then in Blackburn parish.
