Hi Pat, It's from a 1690's register. I has the full dates on them all. I'm beginning to think it might mean died of Cholera, I kind of remember reading in a document one time that there was outbreak around that period ???

Hi John I wonder if this is a clue? If a child is buried within the first twelve months and it has the same Christian name as the father, the word 'Chrisom' is used. 'C' for short? "Chrisom - A Chrisom cloth was the white shawl, provided by a baby's parents and put upon the child by the minister during the baptismal ceremony. The child continued to wear it until the mother was 'churched', at which time the cloth was presented to the church for use in ablutions. If the child died before it's mother's 'churching' the cloth became a shroud. Suh a child would be entered in the burial register as a Chrisom Child, Chrisomer or Innocent. In some parts of the country this term was applied to children dying before they could be baptized." With the Register being for the 1690's it sounds feasible.
