Headley Burial Records: 1593 - 1901

About these records:

The Hampshire Genealogical Society (HGS) completed a massive project covering the transcription of Burial records for the whole of Hampshire up to the end of 1837. We have checked those for All Saints' Headley against the original Registers and made amendments and additions where necessary - we also added records up to the end of 1851 in order to link with the first widely-used Census records, and subsequently added those up to the end of 1901

Date — The format of dates used here is (yyyy-mm-dd) - but in England until 1st January 1752, the New Year started on 25th March (called 'Old Style'). Therefore, for the years prior to 1752 we have adjusted to 'New Style' dates, by adding '1' to the year of entries occurring between 1st January and 24th March. This was done in order to sort the file correctly in date sequence. 
Example: In the section on Baker, we now show:

... but the second of these entries was originally recorded in the Church Registers as 22nd February 1557.

Multiple Registers - There were three Burial Registers in use between 1695 and 1708 (and duplicates at other times), and the same burials are recorded in all three registers – but they do not always agree with regard to dates and names! We have done our best to sort out the muddle, but please refer to the originals if you are making important deductions from this information

Affirmations - Between 1690-1796 a separate register (No.6) was kept for 'affirmations' that the deceased was buried 'in woollen only' - we have noted the name of the person affirming this.

Monumental Inscriptions (MI) - Where there is a Monumental Inscription associated with a burial, this is shown by an entry in the MI column which gives a link to the inscription.

Surname — Has been transcribed as recorded in the Registers — but in order to sort into 'family' groupings, we have added a Family Name column. Spelling was not significant until well into the 1800s, and we have used our local knowledge to identify which variations should be grouped together. So, for example, Fifield, Fyfield and Fiffel are all grouped as family FIFIELD; and Piggott, or Pickett are both grouped as PICKETT.
