Stan, are you saying the doc. relates to the Burial Laws Amendment?
If so, why would there be a need for 'BLA' to be used almost 40 yrs later?

Where he has posted "I was looking at an entry dated 1933, where the Minister/Vicars is normally entered, was the following entry: "certified under the  Burial Laws Amendment Act" Any ideas as to why this entry was made?

This is 53 years after the Act

How very strange as one would have thought by then it was 'accepted' i.e. no need for the acronym?

Amazing what we learn!

It is not quite as simple as may seem.
Many Acts of Parliament are amended by later legislation and may cover different cases.
For instance in the case of the BLA the 1880 Act was amended many times over the years including in 1900 (as noted by the text note) by the Burial Act 1900 (c. 15), s. 8 which provided for the repeal of so much of s. 1 as required 48 hours notice to be given in any case of intention to bury in a burial ground maintained by a burial authority.

Thanks for all the input though I am confused as to what it all means.....does it mean that Annie was not C of E but of another church?

[stanmapstone]

Yes, she was probably a member of either Methodist, Baptist, or other non Church of England denomination.
Although the Act allows a burial  without any religious service, in this case it says it was performed by a minister.

There were two Methodist Chapels in South Cave, Weslyan Methodist and Primitive Methodist. See the map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/492164/431106/12/100571

By 1872 the churchyard at All Saint’s Church had become overcrowded. Therefore, Charles Edward Gee Barnard of Cave Castle donated an acre and  rood for a new burial ground, which was consecrated in 1873. This cemetery was placed under the control of a burial board of seven members. As of 1910, it was administered by the Parish Council. https://southcavepc.gov.uk/cemetery

So although it was not the burial ground at the church, the cemetery was apparently still classified as the parish churchyard, and the 1880 Act still applied.
