It is interesting Barbara - and the register is a good read in itself. I have just come across another burial entry where he records the person as 'defunct', which, according to my books, means deceased. Now, if he felt it necessary to say this person was dead was he actually burying live people sometimes? :-) "What an interesting study. Good luck. I have enjoyed reading the mailings on this subject.
