Transcription and conventions used

The transcription consists of 137,137 entries mainly from the 19th century and covering the County of Hertfordshire.

The index includes the following fields - there may be more information in the original record:-

  • Forenames.
  • Surname (in CAPITALS).
  • Date (separate fields for day, month and year)
  • Age at death (inf indicates an infant, generally under one year of age).
  • Place - sometimes called the 'parish'.
  • Description - usually the dedication of the church - but it may be the address of a non-conformist register or a cemetery.
  • Denomination - the denomination when the records were registered - not always a valid assumption.
  • County - Chapman code relating to place.
  • Quality - a measure of reliability of the data. 100 indicates the data has been checked, and 80 shows that it has still to be checked.
  • Source code (not shown) - a code which, with the county code, identifies the providerof the data.
  • Filename (not shown)- for the 'place + description'.

Note: where there is parish such as 'Anytown St Martin' (where the St Martin appears to be part of the placename) we also enter the Description (dedication) as 'St Martin'.
