A parish-bound whisper from Yorkshire's past. Names and dates come alive. The Parish Register of St. Wilfrid's, Hickleton 1626-1812 is a careful parish register collection of English church records, transcribing baptisms, marriages and burials from a single South Yorkshire parish across two centuries. Compiled by F. Whiting, C., it reproduces the original entries that tether lives to place: parents and godparents, occupations, neighbours and the occasional marginal note that hints at a larger story. Its span from 1626 to 1812 charts a living ledger of births, alliances and farewells, and the plain, patient entries become a genealogical reference book for anyone piecing together kinship and continuity. The plain ledger entries allow cross-referencing with wills, land deeds and later census material, so the register is a practical tool for surname reconstitution as well as a source of local colour and social detail. Beyond names, these Hickleton historical records supply the social scaffolding researchers need to study 17th century England: concentrations of surnames, movements between parishes, and patterns visible when the register is read as an historical document anthology. As an ancestry tracing resource it complements searches in Yorkshire parish archives, county collections and broader British genealogy books, helping to turn fragmentary clues into coherent family narratives. Local history enthusiasts and amateur genealogists find rich material for family history research, while casual readers and classic-literature collectors appreciate the register's archival voice, provenance and the quiet human detail that rewards close attention. Collectors and bibliophiles prize such heritage documents for provenance and the tactile connection to the archive; the clerical hand, marginal marks and sequence of entries are themselves evidence that rewards patient study. 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.
