National Burial Index (Oxfordshire FHS)

[return to the page you were on before]

Transcription and conventions used

The transcription consists of 256,236 entries mainly from the 19th century and covering the County of Oxfordshire and the area of North Berkshire (43,688) administered by Oxfordshire County Council since 1974.

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.

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'.
