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.)              --       Jenny M Benson       Wrexham, UK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
