Subject: Re: [CHS] Auxiliary Register of Baptisms "snip" - I don't know if Auxiliary is actually written down anywhere as the name or it just got used by archivists. Adrian Adrian and Tony, The beginning of the Auxiliary Burial Registers c.1813 of St Helen's, Witton begin thus:- (transcribed from the film of the registers by myself some years ago) "The 1st Auxiliary Burial Register belonging to the parochial Chapel of Witton. Kept in addition to the Burial Register ordered by Act of Parliament anno domini 1812". The first burial being that of Nancy wife of Will'm Gorst of Northwich, Flatman (of Thomas & Nancy Fallows of Northwich) died 29 DEC 1812 bur 1 JAN 1813 in the churchyard, south side, died from "weakness" at 60y. I for one have never ceased to be grateful for these "auxiliary" registers of baptism and burial. Elaine.
