TASSELL REFERENCES

Information for this index has been taken from various sources over a period of 40 years. Where the original record has been consulted the exact entry has been given. However, it has been necessary to condense some of the longer entries (Census records for example) and in all instances researchers should check the original source. No guarantee is given for any possible errors which may have occurred during the transcription and typing process of the index.

When research on this name commenced, many of the original records were held by the individual parish. The source reference, therefore, merely indicates the record and does not state where it is held at the present time.

It is stressed that this index is only an aid to research and the original record SHOULD ALWAYS BE EXAMINED. Experience over many years has shown that significant differences can occur between parish register and bishops transcript entries and between original records and copies.

Much research was carried out on the Tassell families by Major John Stanley Tassell (1890-1975) who devoted considerable time and effort in tracing various Tassell branches over a period of many years and with whom the author of this index co-operated for a dozen or so years until his death. This index is dedicated to his memory.
