How to use this search form

• You must enter a surname. This can be entered in full in upper or lower case, or you can use wildcards (see below).
• Leaving the forename and year of death range blank will return a summary of all burials of people matching that surname.
• Using the forename and/or year of death range will narrow the search down.
• In the forename box you may enter the first initial or first few characters of the first name.
• Wildcards can be used in the surname or forename to replace any number of characters (using * or %), or a single character (using _).
  Examples (for surname use):
  • jo*on* returns records for johnson, johnston, johnstone, johanson, etc
    
  • mart_n returns records for marten, martin, marton, etc
    
  • %smith% returns records for smith, goldsmith, smither, digby-smith, smith-digby, etc
    
  • garr* returns records for garr, garret, garrett, garratt, etc
    
• If using wildcards in the surname, a minimum of three non-wildcard characters must also be used.
