This index consists of 776,738 records of burials that took place in 258 parishes in Staffordshire.
The index includes the following fields:–
- Forenames.
- Surname (in CAPITALS).
- Alias, if any.
- Date (separate fields for day, month and year)
- Age at death (inf indicates an infant, generally under one year of age).
- Place - sometimes called the 'parish'.
- Location - usually the dedication of the church - but it may be the address of a non-conformist register or a cemetery.
- County - Chapman code relating to place.
Note: where there is parish such as 'Anytown St Martin' (where the St Martin appears to be part of the placename) we also enter the Description (dedication) as 'St Martin'.
