Burials – England and Wales

Before the introduction of civil registration of deaths in 1837, parish burial registers and headstones were the principal sources of information about when people died. These records start in the 16th Century and continue to the present day – they include nonconformist and Catholic burials, and burials in civil cemeteries.

Please read the notes below the table and see About these records. For ‘double dated’ years see Dates before 1751.
