Registers that map ordinary lives. The Registers of the Church of St Thomas the Martyr, Upholland, in the County of Lancaster, 1600-1735, gather christenings, burials and weddings into a concentrated parish register collection that converts terse entries into enduring human traces. Presented as a church records anthology, this volume functions as both a historical genealogy resource and a practical ancestry research tool: it supplies the names, dates and connections essential to Lancashire family history and to anyone consulting English church registers. Casual readers discover quiet stories of birth, marriage and loss; those pursuing local history glean parish detail otherwise dispersed among Lancashire parish archives and county lists. The St Thomas the Martyr records are plain in presentation but rich in implication - a wedding records archive and christenings and burials log that links households across a turbulent century.
