NOTES: Checked the original register June 2000 for the entries 1658-1691. Entries 1694-1698 were taken from a transcript of entries on microfiche because the original register could not be clearly read on microfiche. Entries 1700-1705 were taken from the original register on microfiche.

Venison and Benison are one and the same. The archivist at DerbyshireRecord Office confirms " V's" and "B's" were interchangeable in that they can sound similar - the register keeper wrote down what he heard.
