Notes on Column Headings

ColumnNotes
PlaceThe sequence is alphabetical by place and generally follows the listing of parishes in 'The Phillimores Atlas and Index of Parish Registers' (which repesents the position as at c.1832). Also shown is the Ordnance Survey grid reference, except where ambiguous or not identified. Where the original IGI entries give the name of a church or a village/suburb/street, these are listed in the left-hand column of the table.
Batch NumberLists Extracted batches only. Click on a number to access this batch on the FamilySearch website.
Event TypeBatches labelled as Births/Bapts contain a mixture of births & baptisms, and sometimes include 'Adult Christenings'.
Covering DatesThese are derived from the actual data. In some rare cases a 'rogue year' can produce misleading covering dates.
No. of EntriesNumbers for 'Marriages' refer to marriage partners. The actual number of marriage events will be approximately half in each case.
Batch TypeThe Batch Type column is labelled Single where the batch contains events from a single place only.
Many batches contain events from a number of different places, these are labelled Mixed; the number in brackets refers to the total number of records in the batch. So the entry above: C032314, Evie and Rendall, Bir 1894, 2, Mixed (1899) indicates that this is a Mixed batch containing 1899 events, of which 2 are Bir 1894 from Evie and Rendall. Click to view Mixed batches in batch number sequence.
'Listed by Wallis?'A YES in this column indicates that the batch also appears on the Hugh Wallis website. This page includes 12 entries that don't appear on his website.
SyntaxShows the placename syntax used by FamilySearch if it differs significantly from the main place entry.
