   Registers in this Dade-style were kept at St Helen's, Northwich,   
   Cheshire for many years which was very fortunate for me as I have   
   numerous relatives from that parish.  The Burial Registers not only   
   include date of death but also cause of death, which can often make very   
   interesting reading...such as the man who was convicted of rape and   
   hanged at Chester Castle.  (My friend, who had heard a talk about this   
   case told me why he was allowed to be buried at St Helen's and not at   
   the prison, but I forget now what the reason was.)
