Excerpt from The Parish Registers and Records in the Diocese of Rochester: A Summary of Information Collected by the Ecclesiastical Records Committee of the Rochester Diocesan Conference, With an Introduction
Grateful thanks are due to the Incumbents, the majority of whom have evidently completed the Form of Enquiry with great care and accuracy, but a minority have done so in a manner by no means careful and complete. The Schedule of Registers appears to be accurate and complete, but in consequence of different orders of arrangement in the replies sent in, it has not always been easy to tabulate in the order adopted herein. A few of the Incumbents have not troubled to give any particulars of other Records in their possession, and some have done SO in a somewhat perfunctory manner. But on the whole a great deal of valuable information has been given, and it is probable that the attention of all the Incumbents has been drawn to the importance of preserving the documents in their possession.
The Forms of Enquiry returned from every Parish in the Diocese have been bound in two volumes and deposited in the Diocesan Register at Rochester.
