EXTRACTS FROM WINTERBOURNE STEEPLETON PARISH REGISTERS
Transcribed by the late Bernard Knight of Dorchester (c1980's) from the original records in DCRO
and kindly sent to this OPC by Peter Barnes who descends from the Diment family
RC Note : I have since added to these and hope in time to have a full listing
Notes :
Registers begin 1559. Register 1 covers 1559-1787, register 2 covers 1754-1810, register 3 1771-1812. Registers 4 and 5 are marriages 1811-1812 and 1813-1838. Register 6 is banns 1823-1951.
Later registers were still in the parish in 1983.
Winterbourne Abbas and Winterbourne Steepleton shared one parish register in the earliest days. Separate Winterbourne Abbas registers began in 1754 for marriages, 1791 for baptisms and burials.
