Thanks Marion and although not a member of SFHG, I have purchased credits from at their 'Data Archive.' From what I can see on the website, Kingston burials are indexed but not the MIs. (Although I have seen many ages at burial listed in PRs from 1798 onwards, sometimes one can get lucky and come across a pro-active incumbent who added extra details from 1780 onwards - unsure about Sussex though as my research has mostly been in the north of England. . . . . ) Thanks again, Linda On 4/07/2013 5:06 PM, Marion Woolgar wrote: > A standard form of parish burial register was introduced in England and > Wales in 1813 and that contained a column for the age at death.
