- The largest and most comprehensive collection we hold is our series of burial registers. The information contained within the burial registers varies depending on the period in which they were produced. They will always record the name of the person interred, their address, age, date of burial and grave number. They may also hold information such as date of death, cause of death and place of death. These registers have been digitised and are available to search online.
