About Oxfordshire, England, Church of England Deaths and Burials, 1813-1965
This collection contains images of Church of England parish registers of burial records for the years 1813–1965 from the county of Oxfordshire, England.
Both the British government and the church had an interest in record keeping, and a 1538 act of Parliament required ministers in the Church of England to record baptisms, marriages, and burials. In 1812, George Rose’s Act called for preprinted registers to be used for separate baptism, marriage, and burial registers as a way of standardizing records.
