Eartham original registers and Bishop's Transcripts - NYREN burial 1776
« on: Saturday 14 October 23 04:18 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have access to either or both of the Bishop's Transcripts and original registers of the parish of Eartham?

A modern transcription of the BTs contains the following consecutive entries for 1776/77:

31 Dec 1776, Jasper NYREN, age 92
30 Oct 1777, Frances KENT, age 68

I think there is a possibility the ages have been transposed, by either the modern transcriber or the producer of the Bishop's Transcript - ie. it is Jasper NYREN who was 68.  This would fit the baptism of Jasper NYREN at Eartham in 1708, who othewise disappears after the birth of his 4th child Thomas in 1741.

Ideally I would like to confirm from the original registers, if they still exist, what the recorded age of Jasper NYREN was.

As a side note - six months ago I could not view the Eartham BTs or registers or BTs for West Hoathly from home on the familysearch site.  Now I can see both and a number of other useful documents, including Poor Rates and Land Tax.   Something must have changed in the licencing arrangements.
