Notes

• The earliest surviving register for Dovercourt begins in 1706, when the parish was much smaller than it is now.
• No burials 1715 or 1720. Burials 1733-1735 in confused order, and very few for 1734 and 1735. No burials 1736-7.
• Possible gap – only one baptism in 1735 and one in 1736.
• Baptisms 1783-1810 and burials 1802-1813 – the writing in the registers is quite small which has made these hard to transcribe.
