This transcription is in two parts. Firstly a copy of the 384 entries and secondly an index by surname of those buried. Some entries are numbered but the sequence is inconsistent, date and year best trace entries. Some entries in the Register have supplementary or additional information. Where this occurs the detail is added to the copy.
As an aid to identification the approximate year of birth of an individual has been calculated by subtracting the age in years from the year of burial. This will normally be accurate to plus 0 and minus 1.
The following annotations have been used:
? Where reading of an entry is uncertain.
(---) Where an entry item is blank.
(++) Where details are too long for convenient copying, see Register for fuller information.
The Register of Burials is contained in a single volume. It is in a purpose-printed book, half-bound in grey cloth and marbled paper. It measures 19cm by 24cm by 1.5cm. The front cover has a printed paper label
