A guide to the Burnley cemetery records on familysearch
This page gives indexes to the films listed in the
Burnley Cemetery records on familysearch.org.
The first column of each table is the image number of the first image of the set, usually the marker image.
The second column is the name of the register in that set. The last column gives the range of burial numbers
or pages in that set. If there's a date range column it's the range for the whole register, not just for the
image set.
How to use
If you know the burial number, go to the burial register that contains it. If you don't know the burial number
you can probably find it on lan-opc.
In the burial record you can find the grave number. Use the grave number to look up the grave in the appropriate
grave register. If the grave number starts with letters, use the grave registers with the same letters.
When you've found the grave in the grave register, you can find the burial numbers of the burials in the same
grave and look them up in the burial registers. Always check the neighbouring graves too.
In the graves register you should find a column headed "Page in family register". Usually it's a page number
followed by some letters. Use the letters to select the right family graves book and go to the page. There you
can find a list of burials in the grave.

Some notes about the grave books
- The books that I have called NE1 and NE2 were filmed as two items but may originally have been a single
book because the page numbers in NE2 follow on from NE1.
- The books that I have called 1, 2 and 3 were filmed as three items. The page numbers in book 2 follow on
from book 1 but book 3 has no page numbers.
- The books that I have called A1 and A2 appear to be two separate books. The page numbers in book A2
start at 1.
