1558-1643   1653-1677   1678-1719   1720-1753   1754-1782   1783-1812  

Volume IV of the Beeston Registers consists of 48 leaves of parchment, measuring 12 by 6¾ inches, bound in calf, and contains Baptisms and Burials for the years 1720 to 1769, and Marriages 1720 to 1753. On the inside of the cover are the following notes: "Memorandum Robert Shelton, Senior, was married at St Nicholas's Church (Nottingham), Jan. 25th, being the conversion of St Paul, 1724-5." "Memorandum. John Dowson and Ann Kirkland were married at Nottingham, the day after Goose Fair day, anno 1724."

The spelling of the surnames is in all cases the same as in the original registers, but the Christian names have in most cases been translated or modernised.

It should be borne in mind that previous to 1752 the years were calculated as beginning on the 25th of March, so that a marriage entered as having taken place on, say, the 20th February 1624, really occurred on that day in 1625 according to the modern calandar. This is sometimes expressed as 1624/5.

The marriages in the first two volumes were transcribed by Mr T.M. Blagg, and those from 1678 to 1812 by Major George Fellows, of Beeston Fields. The living was vacant at the time this transcript was made, and thanks are due to Mr W. Millington, the then churchwarden, for placing the Registers at the transcribers’ service.
