M.S.Top Middx-e.1 & e.2 - Isleworth Vestry Orders
Two index books (approx 4 ¾ inches by 7 inches) each containing about 95 pages of written notes and entitled “Vestry Orders”.
e.1 opens with a note dated 21 May 1789 and has an index for the period c 1651 – 1722 but I found some entries as late as 1737. The subject of the index is items from the Parish Records of Isleworth arranged in a loose alphabetic order with many cross-references as to the volumes that they came from. Almost every page has illustrations/sketches on them and some of these have been coloured in. There are several pages about the Workhouse (45-48), the church pews (50-59) and about the organist.
e.2 is the same as above but covers a later period to about 1790. There were a number of relevant family entries in this book as follows:-

The library would not allow photocopies of pages. Scans could be taken at £2-95 per page. Alternatively the books could be microfilmed. Using two pages per image (open book) the cost would be £23.00 for 31-60 frames, £38.35 for 61-100 frames or £50.10 for 101-130 frames. I estimate that pages with writing on them from both books would amount to a total of 97 images and cost £38.35.
