Where, when, who, how old (usually). If a child then possibly parents. If a wife, then possibly a husband. The 'ifs' only in older registers. I once found a cause of death 'falling off a horse'. |

In a very old register I found entries for 'child of followed by father's name, no child's name given but in another there was full name, age at death, cause of death, address and 'worth' ie whether they were land owners, paupers etc. |

In my favourite registers in Norfolk in the 1780s, you can get age and parents' names, including mother's maiden name. Two old men dying have their ages, but parents unknown: one being a native of Coventry, the other from Lincolnshire! Sadly, with the introduction of printed registers in 1813, you just got age and address, though some vicars did determinedly add extra details for a few years. |
