The preface to volume 2 of the *Dalston parish records contains the following footnote on p.iii:

“It should be stated here that there is a Baptismal Register at High-head chapel, beginning in 1709, which probably contains all the baptisms for the township of Ivegill from that date and which has not been printed in these pages. All the marriages and burials for that division of the parish are recorded in the Dalston Register and on that account are included in the printed transcript. High-head Chapel was an ancient chapel of ease to Dalston, but was made a separate ecclesiastical district in 1867.”

Additional Entries Not Scanned by CAS

Amongst the *ABH research notes are two loose-leaf typed sheets entitled "Excerpts from Parish register of Highhead". These were attached to, and in the same typeface as, a set of Barton wills that includes Edward Barton (1828-1913), suggesting that it is work done by Richard Barton of Virginia on his visit to the UK. These notes, below, are largely in agreement with what is above (below these entries are in grey if agreeing with above and in red if not), but crucially contains additional later entries not included in the scans taken by the CAS:
