Tow Law, St. Joseph RC Parish (Ref: RC/TL 1-7)

Tow Law RC parish was created in 1867
Wolsingham RC parish was served from Tow Law from c.1869 - c.1885. The registers for both parishes for the period are combined. It should, however, be noted that the dates covered in the registers for Wolsingham and the entries for combined registers of Wolsingham and Tow Law appear to overlap to some degree. It is probable that the entries for these overlapping periods are duplicated to a large extent, in both sets of registers.
