A rare window into ordinary lives in a 16th century parish. This parish register collection records christenings, burials and weddings from 1558 to 1714 in the village of Brindle in the County of Lancaster. Essential for family history research. The meticulously kept historical church records register names, dates and relationships in compact entries that nevertheless reveal marriages, patterns of infant survival, repeated surnames and the movement of households over generations. Readers will find a working ancestry reference book rather than a narrative history: direct data for genealogists, richly relevant material for local history enthusiasts, and a plain-language source for anyone curious about everyday life in early modern England. It is also a practical Lancashire genealogy resource for those compiling family trees and cross-referencing local records. As a vital records anthology, the register is both a factual foundation for lineage verification and a human map of parish life. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Historically significant for its continuity of record across three centuries, the register offers primary-source insight that complements holdings in Lancaster county archives and other British parish records. Demographers, social historians and amateur family sleuths alike use such material to reconstruct networks of kin, local occupations and the small-scale impact of national events. Its chronological sweep makes it especially useful for tracing family fortunes over generations and for spotting demographic changes at a parish level. The plain, compact entries reward patient reading - spelling variants and repeated forenames act as clues rather than obstacles. Local history enthusiasts will delight in tracing neighbourhood threads; casual readers can encounter recognisable human traces in terse entries; and classic-literature collectors will value the volume as a curated ancestry reference book that belongs to any serious shelf devoted to provenance and place. Clear, reliable and respectfully presented, this is a book to consult, collect and compare.
