The spelling, grammar and notes are all as recorded in Gloucestershire Notes and Queries. Any additions to the original, such as these notes, are shown in blue coloured text.
NOTE. - The Parliamentary return states that the earliest Register commences in 1755. This is incorrect. The first Register Book in which Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials follow in fairly regular chronological order, consists of 24 parchment leaves. 5.75 by 11.25 [inches], of which the 13th has been mutilated, and entries between March and September, 1756 are perhaps missing. The second leaf is inscribed " A Register Book for the parish of Woolpen, beginning this year 16867"; but there are on the other side five Baptisms extending over the period 29 May 1677 to 9 April 1685. On the succeeding leaf is the entry:- - Marriages none this year 16867 and though the Register continues without gaps, no marriages appear until that of Edward Veriby in 1697. This transcript has been made by the editor and the Rev. W. B. Benison, Rector of Uley with Owlpen, by whose permission it is now printed.
