A Debenham and Debnam Burial Index This index contains pointers to burial records of members of Debenham families prior to July 1837. Most of the entries have not been substantiated by reference to the original registers or copies of the registers, and unless a specific date is shown should be considered an indication only of a likely burial. It is certainly incomplete, and further entries will be added from time to time as they become available. It should be noted that spellings may vary from the original register entries. This is mainly because before the 18th Century literacy was a scarce resource. The information has been drawn from a large number of sources, including original register entries or copies, researched pedigrees and much information gratefully received from other workers in the field. It is presented “as is”, with no guarantee of accuracy. I shall, as always, be very pleased to receive further information, both corrections and additions to the present list. To make the best use of space counties are shown using three-letter Chapman Codes, a genealogical standard widely used for the purpose. These codes are listed in a number of genealogical textbooks and are also available on the Internet on the Wikipedia, Rootsweb and Genuki sites, amongst others. This document is security protected.
