Notes:-
(1) The original file transcribed from the Bishops Transcripts was updated in Aug 2010 with entries from the National Burial Index (NBI) and has now (Nov 2011) been rechecked against the Parish Registers (PR) held at the Dorset History Centre. These are more comprehensive and additional names and information such as relationships have been added to the transcription.

(2) "Mr" or "Mrs" which is used several times in this Register was a courtesy title for any person of respectable status within the community. 

(3) Readers are reminded that each year started on 25th March not the 1st January [up until the year 1752] so January and February Christenings for example will appear at the end of the year

(4) At the request of the Church of Latter Day Saints Image ref numbers have been added to the transcriptions to aid researchers relocate original documentation in the Bishops Transcripts
