Transcription of St. Margaret’s Church Parish Register, Westminster, London, England, 1600

A Chandler cousin and I recently transcribed a section of the parish register wherein the christening of our emigrant ancestor, John Chandler, was recorded. She did most of the transcription because she knows the olde English calligraphy much better than I. It was a learning experience for me. Any suggestions or corrections are appreciated.

This is only a portion of the record a photocopy of which appears on the Chandler Family Association webpage.
