Hello Does anyone know what year the Kingston by Lewes PRs listed the age of death in their burial records . .? Also - have the MIs been done for Kingston. . .? Hoping to find the age at death of Elizabeth WINDER who was buried 30 Dec 1781 at St Pancras . . . or a surviving headstone. Any help appreciated. Linda (Melbourne AUS)

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. Before that, you do very occasionally find a vicar who would enter the age, but more often not. I do not know whether the memorial inscriptions at Kingston-by-Lewes have been collected. However, if you are a SFHG member, a search of their Tombstones & Burials Index can be made. Go to http://sfhg.org.uk/tombstones.html for further details.
