Thank you very much for the information. How would I go about getting more information such as next of kin etc. (assuming that information is available). Would I have to apply for a death certificate?
I'm afraid there's possibly not much else to add - the register may have an occupation (but probably not). If it were a woman, it might name her husband but generally, a name, an age and a date is all you get. Perhaps an address.
Thank you for your help. The information you have provided will help me immensely. If it is not too much trouble ...is there a Betty or Elizabeth Cragg who was buried in Crossthwaite (Keswick), Workington or Cockermouth between 1770 and 1850? This would be John's wife who gave birth to Isaac in 1770 in the poor house at Keswick.
Thankyou. I remembered the date restriction after I hit send. It was worth a try. I have another potential piece to my puzzle with John Cragg thanks to your efforts.
