England Deaths and Burials - FamilySearch Historical Records
|
This is a Legacy Collection This collection is a partial index of records for this locality. The collection was originally assembled for publication in April 2010. Since that time only a few records may have been added. As no additional records will be added, or any corrections made to the data, this is considered to be a "Legacy" collection. Where significant issues with the data have been identified, a Known Issues Wiki article has been created. See the table of contents of this article to see if one is available. Many Legacy collections contain records from localities other than that which the collection is for. If available, please consult the coverage table to see what other localities may be included. As this is an index of records compiled from various sources, it is strongly recommended that you verify any information you find with original records. |
