   I think it is always fun to find something a little out of the ordinary   
   in Parish Registers, even if it is does distract from the serious   
   business of finding out about one's own relatives.   
      
   These few comments all appeared on one page recording burials in   
   Weaverham, Cheshire in 1770 and 1771:   
      
   "May be aged 17 years"   
   "By information lay in bed near 12 year"   
   "By information was very penitent"   
   "She died on child bed and had 2 boys christened the same time"   
   "A very old man"   
   "He was ? by a fall of his Horse and found dead"   
   "Aged 88 upon his coffin"   
   She died suddenly - o Lord keep us from sudden death"   
   "He was killed by his Cart upon Crew Common near Crowton.  Supposed to   
   be very much in liquor...o Lord teach us to number our days that we may   
   apply our hearts unto wisdom"   
   "This child was drowned.  How different the sorrow to that above."   
   (Those last 2 consecutive entries.)   
   "Aged 85 upon her coffin"   
   "This young man was found dead upon Latchford Heath"   
   "This poor widower dropt down dead.  O God keep us from sudden death"
