Re: DEATH/BURIAL RECORDS
In Response To: Re: DEATH/BURIAL RECORDS ()

Hi Peter,

I always think that it is worth looking at the original records, even though the parish registers don't usually give much extra information for burials in the 1830s other than (often) an age and/or place of residence, and sometimes occupation. The films usually have bapts and marriages as well, and even when the details are sketchy you can build up more of an idea of a family group (and sometimes pick up family connections which aren't obvious on indexes).

Is this the film you were looking at getting?
Marriages 1788-1848 Burials 1788-1849 Index to christening, marriages 1784-1849 FHL BRITISH Film 106732

I'd get the bapts as well: Christenings 1804-1848 Marriages 1784-1830 FHL BRITISH Film 106731. And also the later film which will have a lot more on it, in case members of your family were still in the parish: Christening, marriages, burials 1849-1883 FHL BRITISH Film 106192. 1849 was the date that they started adding a lot more to the bapt & marriage entries in this parish.

I've never looked at Malew, so you might be lucky and find more details than on the parish reg films I have seen.

I can give you examples of burial entries from Maughold par reg around that date, to give you an idea. These are all the burials in Maughold for 1832:
