1. Executive summary

• The document is a parish-register source, not a general local directory. It is strongest for baptisms, funerals/burials, clergy, churchwardens, family names and occasional status or residence details.
• The named church is St Mary, North Petherton. The printed description says the main church is around A.D. 1400, with tower and sacristy probably around forty years later.
• The PDF section covers the register from the early modern period: baptisms from 1558 to 24 March 1692 and funerals/burials from 1558 to 1614 in this first printed section. The title page notes Section 1, pp. 1-256.
• The document provides no evidence of schools, shops, modern clubs or local business directories. It does name bell firms, restoration contractors and the Bromsgrove Guild in relation to the church fabric and memorial.
• Most individuals in the register are not given addresses or occupations. Where an occupation/status is stated, it is recorded below, for example vicar, minister, curate, churchwarden, joyner, butcher, boatman, gentleman, esquire, widow and stranger/peregrinus.

Source page references in this report use the PDF page number displayed by the PDF file, not the printed page number of the original book unless stated otherwise.

Social categories visible in the register

Category	Examples in the source	Why it matters
Widows / vidua / vid / widdow	Many burial entries identify widows. Examples include Joane Dibble widdowe, Marie Sully widdowe, Elizabeth Nowell widdowe, and numerous entries marked vid/vidua.	Shows marital/social status, often in funeral entries.
Patre/pater incognito	Many baptisms state patre incognito or similar where the father is unknown/not recorded.	Useful for family history but should be transcribed exactly.
Peregrinus / peregrina	Examples include William Wallis peregrinus, Cysley peregrina, David Priddey peregr., Morris Good peregrinus, Christian Cannell peregrinus and Thomas Cozins peregrinus.	Usually means stranger/outsider/traveller in parish-register Latin; exact social meaning depends on context.
Gentlemen / esquires	The source identifies several higher-status persons as gent., gen. or Esq., including Thomas Popham, William Bacon, Thomas Gatchell, William Catford, Edward Poulett, John Mannsell and Edward Wroth.	Shows social rank, not necessarily an occupation.
Aliases / ats / als	Many surnames are given with aliases, for example Wrentmore ats Band, John Coleman ats Prat, William Rexworthie ats Bawnton.	Important for surname research.

7. Family names appearing in the register

The register contains thousands of individual names. The following table gives the most frequent surname or surname-like variants found by an OCR-assisted extraction from the text layer. It is not a definitive index: spellings vary, OCR may split or misread names, and variants have not been merged. It is useful as a quick guide to prominent families and repeated surnames in this section.

8. Research notes and limitations

• Do not assume a person lived in North Petherton unless the entry is a parish event or a location is explicitly stated. Some entries mention people from neighbouring places or events at other churches.
• The source often uses Latin abbreviations: s./son, d./daughter, f./fit/filia/filius, eod/eodem for same day, patre incognito for unknown father, vid/vidua for widow.
• The printed preface warns that dates are sometimes not chronological and that some entries may have been copied from earlier material or entered later from notes.
• Names should be checked against the image/PDF before being used in a published family tree, because early spellings and OCR errors can be misleading.
• No schools, clubs or local shop lists are recorded in this source. Absence from this register is not evidence that they did not exist; it only means the uploaded parish-register section does not describe them.
• The surnames table is a guide. For a formal genealogical index, each register entry should be manually checked against the page image.
