Title: Norfolk Churches on Freereg
Post by: poohatbarton on Thursday 03 October 13 09:28 BST (UK)

Whilst recently researching on Freereg I noticed that after each Norfolk church name there was an abreviation of either Tr or Pr could someone please explain what they mean

Thanks

TR is a transcript - so something not taken directly from the register.
AT is the archdeacon transcript - sent in every year by each parish to the diocese
BT is the bishops transcript - compiled by year

PR is taken directly from the parish register.

If nothing after the church name then assume it is a PR
