This chart was originally compiled with the help of the late Stan Piggin of Crich, and was modified in 2004 in the light of detailed research by Brenda Moss, who published her findings on her own, now vanished website: http://www.brendamoss.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Derby/pigindex.html. Please contact me if you know about Brenda's current whereabouts. Thanks also to Sarah Hatt for comments.

The Crich website, Parish Registers and Other Aspects of Crich, which was compiled by Alan S. Flint dealing with Crich and its history has now been absorbed into the new Crich Website administered by Peter Patilla. I recommend you look at this for more Crich stories.
