Church Records information for Kirkby Malhamdale and places above it in the hierarchy

Kirkby Malhamdale

  • Original Registers
    • Some early registers were stolen in 1970s, perhaps because they contained Oliver Cromwell's signature or the thieves believed the safe contained the church silver, now housed safely in York Minster. Fortunately many of the early records had been transcribed by the Yorkshire Parish Record Society, and an earlier incumbent (Cookson) had also created a manuscript index which covers all the entries, but of course this doesn't include much additional detail that may have been gleaned from the original registers. Coverage of this period can also be found in the Bishop's Transcripts held by the Borthwick Institute in York.
    • Searchable Index to the Parish registers 1597-1813 of St Michael the Archangel, created from the Cookson Index, IGI and the 18th century Bishop's Transcripts, providing a useful finding aid and the most comprehensive set of data available for the 18th century, covering the period of the stolen registers.

  • Deposited typed transcripts are at North Yorkshire County Record Office, Northallerton:

    • The Cookson Index of register entries, 1597 - 1811
