      These are the notes written by J Neville Wood for his 1979 transcription.
      HAILEY (OXFORDSHIRE) NOTES
      Hailey was part of the parish of Witney until its present church was
      consecrated in 1861.
      A chapel was built there in 1760 with a burial ground, the remains of which
      lie between the present Vicarage and the road. The chapel was not licensed
      for marriages.
      From 1760 to 1812 all baptisms and burials were entered annually en bloc in
      the Witney Parish Register, and when these registers were transcribed in
      1973 the only Hailey record was a rough notebook kept by the Curate, the
      Revd. John Hyde. Since then, the original Hailey registers have come to
      light.
      In 1847 a chapel was built at Crawley, with its own burial ground and
      registers. Occasional entries relating to persons who lived in Hailey were
      entered in the Crawley registers and vice versa, and from 1873 the Crawley
      burial register was also used for Hailey. In this transcript the entire set have
      been amalgamated into a single record, with the letter H or C indicating the
      place of abode.
      HAILEY PARISH REGISTERS
      Vol 1 A plain book with baptisms and burials starting at opposite ends.
      These are original
      records from 1797 to 1812 inclusive; thereafter, the clerk's "rough
      book".

      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      CONCATENATION & RETRANSCRIPTION, 2002
      When these registers were retranscribed in 2002 as part of the Oxfordshire
      Baptisms project, the opportunity was taken to bring together the two sets of
      entries which refer first to Hailey Chapel and later to its Church.
      As was briefly stated by Mr Wood in the notes to his 1979 transcription, from 1761
      until 1837 the Hailey registers were annually copied en bloc into the Witney
      registers.
      The Hailey records therefore fall into three sections:
      1. 1761-1799: Witney version only is available, the Hailey register being lost.
      2. 1797-1837: Both versions are available.
      3. 1837-1954: Hailey version only, the Witney copy having been discontinued.
      The Witney copy was transcribed by Brigadier Goadby in 1973 as part of his
      Witney transcription, the Hailey registers by Mr Wood in 1979.
      Section 2 requires some explanation.
      It is probable that the Hailey clerk made his initial records in a rough book, which
      was then copied separately into the main Hailey registers and the Witney registers.
      There seems no other way to explain the fact that some scattered records appear
      either in the Hailey version or in the Witney version, but not both. These records
      are flagged as [H only] or [W only].
      Apart from that, there are very many discrepancies between the two versions.
      Most are simple spelling differences, but since it seems likely that Mr Wood
      standardised many spellings in his 1979 transcription there is little point in noting
      them individually.
      Others are minor forename differences, eg Mary/Mary Ann, and differences in
      occupation or place. The Hailey version is usually taken as standard, and these
      differences are flagged as [W=] and occasionally [H=], thus:
      Mary Ann [W=Mary] d John, farmer [W=lab]
      Finally there are some serious differences in names, especially in surnames, and
      here both records are included -- always in pairs as with aliases -- and are flagged
      as [H] or [W].
