Help Needed - Source for Bishop's transcripts
« on: Sunday 15 May 22 13:32 BST (UK) »
Sorry folks!  Mistake made.  Ignore previous post.

The Bishop's Transcript entry was the marriage of George Weedon and Ann Beck in 15 June 1629 in Rickmansworth.

Can you help providing me with source of Bishop's transcript entry?

Reference made to the Weedon/Beck marriage is recorded on Hertfordshire Names Online
States they married 15 June 1629, Source being Bishop's Transcripts
You are able to order a copy via their website.

Seems that the BT's aren't on FindMyPast or FREEREG

Lady Di,

Thanks for the lead.  Ordered from HALS for 10.40 pounds.

HALS claims they do not have the item!  Brush me off!

Sorry to read that you can't get a copy from HALS. I can see that it's on their records so why they can't find it is beyond me. Possibly it's hard to read  ???

BUT with a little searching I've found that SOME 1629 British Transcripts for Rickmansworth were included in   "England Marriages, 1538–1973 "

There are 6 marriages reported on Family Search for that year - unfortunately they don't include your Weedon/Beck marriage. Seems that July-October are missing on FS

HALS reports that there were 17 marriages in 1629. FS has only 6

The Film number for these Family Search records is 569753 (Batch # M07279-5)
You might be able to get a copy of the film at your local LDS rooms.

As an aside - interesting to see (on FS) that there's a christening for a John Weedon at Rickmansworth on 27 June 1629 (son of Thos & Mary) ... so some Rickmansworth records are available (somewhere)   ::)

Good luck


PS - it might save you £10+   ;)
