I guess that the PRs went to the then County Record Office - Warwickshire. The BTs went to Gloucester because the parish was in the Diocese of Gloucester - dioceses and counties differ. The Diocesan Record Office is Gloucester, the same place as the Gloucestershire County RO. | |

| Sep 30, 2015 at 18:25 | comment | added | AdrianB38 | The September issue of the Genealogists' Magazine (p420) records missing burials due to the Priest completing the register once a year from the parish clerk's account book. Problem was that no entry was made into the account book if the fee had been paid in full already. The account book was there to record money owing, not burials. (I think I got the story right! ) Maybe here we see evidence of two books in use by different people. Only one was copied for the BTs. Wild guess. .. | |

Could the PR possibly be a copy made from an older damaged/worn register? The writing looks more modern and very consistent. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:39 | comment | added | Harry V.♦ | @ColeValleyGirl I have just looked at the BT for 1780, and there are some similar names though not all the dates match up - but you might have part of the answer there. Also I couldn't locate any other chapels in Quinton. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 19:17 | comment | added | user104 | It seems to cover more than one year, which is strictly speaking wrong -- they were supposed to be provided/cerified annually. Have you compared the BT for 1781 with the PR for the previous year? Also, did the parish have a chapel -- i.e the possibility for two PRs? | |
