* Preserved in the Public Record Office, London. Similar rolls exist from 7
to 22 James I; the above is the only one found containing the name of
Carleton.
All these records from the Beeford register. Obtained by Miss French in
1913 I have personally verified or corrected. It may be noted that the
baptisms of the first two sons appear too close together, but the record of
George is certainly in the March immediately following December 1579, and is
clearly headed Anno 1580; there is no heading 1581 (possibly a leaf has
been lost here). The record for Edward Carlton in 1610 is very faint, and
looks us though it has been tampered with since I first read it: it now
looks like Edward Carlaton. The Bishops transcript, however, is perfectly
clear, and really a better record, probably in the hand of the rector. Rev.
Thomas Bell. The leaf for 1611 has disappeared since 1913, probably lost out
when a recent rector had the register rebound after 1919. I must record my
debt to the present rector, Canon Frederick Richardson, for delightful
hospitality. and for giving me freedom to re-read the entire first register
under the most favorable conditions in July. 1938. -T. E. H.
