| There is not any Register of Baptisms & Burials in the year 1730. The average of Baptisms & Burials is not in proportion to the increased population of the Township. I have in some measure accounted for this circumstance in my observations upon taking an acct. of the Inhabitants in the year 1798. I do not however think that a total indifference to religion or? increases. Tis more from dissafection to the Established Goverment that induces the lower orders of the People to separate (them) from the Church which they consider as part of that Goverment than from any real differnce of opinion on the subject of religion. The Marriage Register for the years 1754 & 1755 – It has long been customary for the inhabitants of this Township to be married at the Parish of Morley which accounts for the small number of Marriages entered in the Chapel Register – Another circumstance now prevails – Servant and Apprentices Banns published in the Churches of the populous and extensive Parishes & get married privately there when they could? not be married at home from the opposition ? that their (friend) make to it, for extraordinary as it may appear there is frequently more unreasonable objections made to the marriage of their children by persons who have nothing to give them & who must therefore always work for their support, than by those persons who have the fortunes of their families at stake. |
