The first burial register

This is the oldest burial register from St Thomas' Church Keresley, and it covers the period from 1847 when the church was opened, to 1901 (nearly 800 register entries). The original is now kept in the County Archive in Warwick but you may view images of the pages here. The register pages have been indexed both by date and by surname. Clicking on the page number you require, will open a new window displaying an image of that page.

Note, you will find variations in name spellings! Sometimes the handwritten original is unclear, sometimes names were written down in different ways. We always recommend that you widen your search to include other possible spellings of a name you are interested in.

Each entry consists of a SURNAME then a coma, then the CHRISTIAN NAMES then the recorded DATE OF BURIAL. The second column gives the ENTRY NUMBER in the burial register and the PAGE where the entry occurs, this column also serves as a link to an image of that page which will open in a new window.
