The University Library collection is not in chronological order and individual pages are often difficult to locate.

This collection reference also includes Nevilles Cross St John transcripts 1913-1919. These entries are integrated in the St Margaret transcripts and run from DDR/EA/PBT/2/83/1875 -1876 The St Margarets entries then resume until the end of the year 1919.

The dates of the post-1760 transcripts have been noted in detail and sometimes only cover years. For most parishes in the collection there are gaps in the sequence of transcripts. It is advisable to consult the original parish registers for these years and events.
