How to use these Databases

When you first open a database you will be presented with a table showing all of the records in the database. For technical reasons the NEXT, PREVIOUS, Filters. Find it and Quick Search buttons no longer function and should not be used as they may cause your computer to crash. Information can theoretically be sorted alphabetically by column by double-clicking on the appropriate column heading. Dependent upon your computer this may be unacceptably slow because of the large number of records involved.

Conventions used in transcriptions - The information presented is initially sorted by ID which is, in principle, the order in which the records appear on the source documents.  This is not necessarily date order.  Some records, particularly early Parish Registers, are very jumbled.

Words shown in brackets in the text are comments of the transcriber.

WARNING -Despite the best efforts of all involved no transcription can be guaranteed to be perfect.  Early handwriting is difficult to read and this is exacerbated by the damage and discolouration of many original documents.   These difficulties together with simple human error in typing can all lead to incorrect transcriptions.  All researchers are strongly advised to use these databases as a guide and to check those entries they are personally interested in for themselves on the microfiche records available at the Somerset Heritage Centre using this database as a guide to their location.
