LEWES
Records from the parish of All Saints

Volume I of the parish General Register, microfilmed in 1984, begins in 1561 for births, in 1567 for marriages and in 1565 for burials. Many pages -- and entire years, for that matter -- are missing; records in the book are not necessarily in chronological order.

The annual bishop's transcripts, microfilmed in 1986, begin in 1606. Records from years 1612, 1614-16, 1619, 1621-22, 1624-25, 1629-30, 1632-63 -- and many onward -- are missing. Dates are Old Style.

* A 1976 letter from Mrs. Richard V. Shanklin of Panama City, Fla., to Dorothy Smallwood about these All Saints records states that Margaret was baptized Oct. 27, 1572, but the entry at the top of the 1984 microfilmed copy of Volume I of the parish record book is torn, leaving "Margaret ... ye daughter of ... baptiz ... xxvij^th of October 1572." Perhaps Mrs. Shanklin saw the page intact before the tear? I've confirmed the rest of her findings.

** Elizabeth's baptism was also recorded at St. Michael.
