Introduction

This database contains full details from the parish registers apart from the name of the officiating minister. It is taken from the N Cheshire FHS database of Cheshire Burial Transcriptions compiled for the National Burial Index (NBI).

Note: This is an on-going project and is far from complete. North & East Cheshire parishes are about 80% complete but the rest of Cheshire is very thinly represented.

Transcription and conventions used

The transcription consists of 30,082 entries covering the North and East of the County of Cheshire.

• Forenames and Surname
• Date of Burial
• Place and county where the deceased was thought to be resident. The Chapman County code has been used.
• Age - if known
• Status - if known
• Relative - identity of living relative, if known
• Misc - any supplementary information e.g. occupation
• Parish - Cheshire parish where buried.

Coverage

Roughly 10% of all entries are of people resident outside Cheshire most of whom will have been brought back to be buried in family owned graves.

Some are from very far distant counties but many are from towns and villages over the county boundary but within 15 miles of the parish. These places would have been so well known to the parish clerk that it was not thought necessary to include the county with the abode. The counties have been added, by the Inputters & Checkers, from local knowledge, so should be regarded as a guide only. Where county is actually given in the register it should appear twice - both before and after the rest of the abode

Abbreviations and Codes

The Chapman county codes have been used to indicate where the deceased was resident.

Checking

All the entries have been checked.

Grouping

There are no record groups in this database.

Abbreviations and Codes

The Chapman County codes have been used. The code for Cheshire is 'CHS'.
