1733-1777 – Frodsham, St Lawrence: Parish Register of Baptisms and Burials

Until 1754 the New Year was celebrated on 25 March, and in the parish registers dates between 1 January and 24 March are sometimes listed under the previous year. So 31 December 1742 was followed by 1 January 1742, and 24 March 1742 by 24 March 1743, etc. To avoid any misunderstanding I have followed the standard dual dating process, with the new style dates shown in parentheses. Bernard’s baptism was therefore shown in the register as 1 January 1742, but is listed here as 1 January 1742 (Research paid for by C. P. Stover, Mar 2006)

NOTES

  • While searching for the name “Pickerne” I noticed that name only appears in Cheshire County from the early records of 1571-1657.
  • I have recorded the spellings of the names exactly as I found them in the original records. These spellings are assumed by most researchers to be a derivative of the name Pickering.
