Parish Records 1539 - 1809

The first image is on page 2 of the scanned registers here.

The first marriages were recorded in Yarcombe parish registers in 1539.

Burials were recorded from 1 June 1539.

Baptisms were recorded starting on 1 June 1545.

Baptism records between 1545 and 1604 did not list either parents name.

Note that there is a gap in the burial records in Yarcombe between March 1592 and February 1597/8.

There is a gap in the marriage records in Yarcombe between 2 February 1693/4 and 21 November 1707. There are a few marriages in that period recorded in "England Marriages 1538-1973" but it does not appear to be complete.

The earliest records are in a 302 page document with the South West Heritage Trust archive reference 1150A/PR/1/1
