Parish registers

1573-1949

From: 1573 To: 1949

The Luton parish registers include a series of rough registers which cover the period 1719 to 1810. These were probably kept by the Parish clerk or other official who made entries at the time of the service, and a "fair copy" was later made from these drafts. In many cases the entries in the rough registers differ from those in the fair copy, and the extent and nature of these discrepancies are outlined in the introduction to the transcript, Vol. 53.

Transcribed and indexed to 1812, see B.P.R.S. Vols. 53-4 Microfilmed as follows: baptisms to 1944, marriages to 1878, burials to 1885 on MIC 229/28-34, marriages 1813-1901 and burials 1813-1904 on Micf 36.
