I know in Manchester you can get burial records but you have to pay, yet in Tameside they are online and for free. If you do come across any most places want you to pay.

I thought the rules for entries from the NBI were the same as for data from other sites for which a copyright applies.  That is you can transcribe information from them onto this site but you must not cut and paste it.

Welcome to rootschat Jackie.

Your best bet is to start by buying the death certificate to find out precisely where and when they died if you don't already have that information.

Then as mentioned above try the NBI to see if that contains any information.  The local FHS may have collected the Memorial Inscriptions from the local graveyards but not submitted any information to the NBI

After that you need to look for church and cemetery records which will either be in the local record office or if more recent still on site.  Cemeteries which are still used will often hold grave maps and details of who is buried where.

It however comes down to proper research because in many cases no-one will have indexed the information that you are looking for.

Hi,

Can anybody tell me if the burial records on findmypast are the same as the national burial index on cd?  I've had little success with the NBI cd and would be willing to subscribe to FindMyPast if their records were more comphrensive.

The NBI info on Findmypast is also on Family History online and this is a pay-per-view site - you pay a minimum of £5, and the cost of looking at results is debited from what you've paid - cost is pennies.
http://www.familyhistoryonline.net/

On their list of databases, it says "NBI including some new entries not on the 2nd edition CDS and, for some counties, a more comprehensive Burial Details database is available".

Findmypast also has pay-per-view facility.
