Documentation

At Bath Record Office is a list of 151 burials compiled by G Wynne. This gives the names (sometimes just with initials and surname) and the year. It omits the names which appear on the wall which lists cremations. This list has now been supplemented by further information on some of the individuals where this can be determined from information in death registrations, census entries and probate index entries.
