Book Description

Excerpt from The Parish Registers of St. Mary Aldermary, London, Vol. 5: Containing the Marriages, Baptisms, and Burials From 1558 to 1745 The Registers of St. Mary Aldermary are happily in a good state of preservation, and their contents are of the character usual with those of the old London parishes. Perhaps the most notable entry in them is that of the marriage of the poet Milton, 24 February, 1662-3, but a very large portion of them relate to the families of merchants and professional men who bore a more or less conspicuous part in the history of the City and of their times. It appears to have been the custom to make yearly lists of the inhabit ants of the parish, with additional particulars as to their occupation, Religious faith, and the numbers of their respective families. Two of these lists, for the years 1733 and 1734, were transcribed into the Parish Register, and it has been thought best to reproduce them in this volume, on account of their value as illustrating the Register itself, and. As furnish ing details which do not appear elsewhere. They will be found on pages 235-238. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
