DESCRIPTION:In 1641 and in 1642 Parliament used the Protestation oath to s
 wear the nation. Taken at parish level\, this required returns listing tho
 se taking (or refusing) the oath.  This paper provides an introduction to 
 these little-known and under-used sources.  Surviving in their thousands a
 nd providing for some counties complete coverage\, the returns provide a p
 artial census. In some parishes\, the returns were ordered either by famil
 y\, household\, occupation or gender and/or age categories.  In others\, t
 he silent ordering principles by which the names were returned (topography
  or status hierarchies) can be recovered.  A rich cluster of contemporaneo
 us parish-level fiscal listings (poll tax\, subsidy\, Collections for Irel
 and) offer possibilities for comparative record linkage.\n
