Hello Michael,
I thought that in view of my comments about off-list items I had better post
this information here too as it may be of use to some of the other readers. I
reproduce the information as it was sent to me and apologise if anyone has
come upon it elsewhere. I can claim no credit for the hard work in preparing
these details, this belongs to David Jeans 'danco(a)8722home.fsnet.co.uk'. David
has made various comments in the body of the text that he should like to be
advised if any corrections or amplifications appear to be needed and has given
his permission for the research to be reproduced here on the basis that
neither I nor anyone else has altered it in any way :
The following records have been copied from the Parish Registers for
the Parish Church of St. Mary's at Stalbridge, North Dorset held at
the Records Office at Dorchester and also from the Bishop's
Transcripts for the same parish held at the Records Office at
Trowbridge.
This data is provided for quick reference only. For confirmation of
detail you must consult the actual "records" at Dorchester/Trowbridge,
or photocopies thereof.
Should any errors be observed, I should be pleased to learn of them so
that I can correct my data.
The fields within all records are in Comma Separated Variable (CSV)
form with an extra field added to give an ID(entification Number),
starting at 1 ["0001" plus "B" for burials - "C" for
Christenings -
"M" for Marriages] for the first entry in the first available
register, and ending at the last entry in the last register available
for public scrutiny at the time the extracts were taken:
As the earliest Registers are on plain paper, the entries are not
numbered and all "events" are included in the same Register, there
will be "B0001", "C0001", and "M0001" in the same Register.
Depending upon the Vicar, the different events could be intermixed or
kept in separate sections of the earlier Registers. This does not
apply to Stalbridge which used separate sections for separate events.
Additional fields have also been added (by me) to assist the sort.
Notes for BURIALS
These entries have not (yet) been expanded to give separate "lines"
for each person mentioned in the original entries. I do not know
when I will be fit in this expansion and re-sorting.
The extra fields are a "Sortyear" and a "Code". The
"Sortyear"
depends upon the "Code".
The Code is "zz" when there is no "age" or "za" when it is
possible to
calculate a birthyear (or a birthyear is shown). The "Sortyear" is
either the event year or a calculated birthyear.
The fields have been rearranged (from the original entries in the
Registers) to assist the "Alphabetical sort" and (for a sorted file)
are in the following order (colons are used to show the positions of
the "Commas"):-
SURNAME: Forename/s: Year: Code: date of burial: Deathage: Notes
(including Status [Wd/Spinster/Wife] spouse/ parents: abode:
Calculated birthyear (or actual birth/christening date): Vicar: Spare:
Identification Number (added by me, Parish register (book) number /
entry number in the individual register:

Notes For MARRIAGES
These entries have been expanded to give separate "lines" for each
person mentioned in the original entries (but see below for further
expansion necessary.
SURNAMES in CAPITALS throughout are PRINCIPALS (GROOM and BRIDE),
those in Lower Case are parents and witnesses. An X after a name
indicates "Mark" instead of signature.
Brides are entered under both "maiden" and married names to assist in
connecting Burials to Christenings. To add "Widow" brides under
their original maiden names where they have married under their
"married" name would require extra manual sorting, which I have not
yet managed to do.
These Marriage Records have been expanded to give a separate "line"
for each person mentioned, viz a marriage with both fathers and 6
witnesses, has 10 "lines" sorted according to the individual
"Surname", so that if a father is one of the witnesses, there are two
"lines" for him, one with the "code" "f" the other with the
"code"
"w".
The (marriages) codes are: mb = /bride ("maiden" name and year of
marriage), mg = /groom (year of marriage), mbb = /bride ("married
name"/"maiden name" estimated birth year), mgb = /groom (estimated
birth year), mfbb = /father bride, mgbb - /father groom, mw =
/witness. An extra field has been added to "lines" for Brides under
their "married" name, to give the "maiden" name.
The order in which the fields are shown in each "line" depend upon the
code but the first four are: Surname, Forenames, Year (which can be
year of marriage or estimated birth-year of bride or groom), Code.
After these the fields vary but, hopefully, will be self-evident.
The fields for a marriage (after rearranging for sorting by the
computer, but before "expanding", adding "Sort Code and Sort Year"
fields to the records) were:-
Groom's SURNAME, forenames, Bride's SURNAME, forenames, Date of
marriage, banns, G-age (in figures or characters [F]ull - [M]inor),
G-status, G-job, G-abode, G-father, G-father's job, B-age (in figures
or characters), B-status, B-job, B-abode, B-father, B-father's job,
witnesses, spare, calculated groom's birth-year, calculated bride's
birth-year, Register Number/entry number,ID number,
This order has been kept as far as possible.
