Derbyshire, England, Church of England Deaths and Burials, 1813-1991

This collection contains images of Church of England parish registers of burial records for the years 1813–1991 from Derbyshire, England.

Both the British state 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 and burial registers as a way of standardizing records.
