BURIALS 1731 TO 1755
Transcribed from a microfilm of the Bishop's Transcripts held at the Dorset History Centre and donated to the Dorset OPC Project by Kim Parker
Arranged according to the Gregorian Calendar, with the Julian year indicated to the left of the forward slash (/) in those years when the Julian Calendar, which ran from March 25th to March 24th, was in use (i.e. prior to 1752, 1751 being the transition year).
The returns have been written on odd scraps of parchment and are difficult to read in some places, so researchers are advised to use this transcript as a guide and consult the original at the Dorset History Centre. In particular, the return for 1731 has deteriorated, so that there are several holes in it, the return for 1733 has been partially obliterated by an ink spill and the return for 1740 is almost completely illegible.
