We've managed to find a document containing the Grinton
Parish registers from 1640 to 1807! |
|
This is a digital copy of a book
published by the Yorkshire Parish Register Society in
1905. It contains the Grinton Registers dating from 1640
up to 1807 for Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. There
are gaps, as the original text explains, but this seems
to be due to missing registers.
The book was scanned using Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) technology, which is highly
dependent on the quality of the original text. OCR
scanning is not 100% reliable and there are many
oddities in the result.
As
you will see, in many places the scanned text has
obvious mistakes. We haven’t altered any of the text
because the human brain is far better at spotting
patterns than computers. In the vast majority of cases
it’s fairly obvious what the word should be,
particularly where names are concerned. |
|
We’ve generated a Table of Contents from the general
headings within the document. These are partly from the
text in the document together with the years, some of
which we’ve inserted. This should, in theory, make for
easier navigation, although we haven’t changed any text
so some entries may look odd. |
|
All-in-all this is a brilliant resource for anybody
looking to trace families in Swaledale, and in
particular the parish of Grinton. The scanned text may
be a bit ropey in places but it’s no worse than trying
to decipher hand-written registers on microfiche. |
