‘Certificates to Great Barlow from other Parishes owning their Parishioners settled in Barlow’

Transcribed December 2002 from small size microfilm held at the Derbyshire Record Office at Matlock, Film No. M604 volume 9. Very difficult to read and decipher. In order to save time in getting this finished, it was latterly chopped to the bare bones, i.e. disregarded all the signatures as they were so difficult to read and too time-consuming, so apologies. The earlier certificates were all hand written with printed forms coming into use in the early 1700's.
