Help with death record please.

[Wiggy]

What does the N G stand for here, after the person's name, please?    No grave??  Surely not  - or is it?    1791 record of St James, Middlesex.  I notice both people with N G are widows - I think.

Any help gratefully received!

No idea, but I have seen references elsewhere to "new ground". However, you would expect widows to be burried with their husbands, unless they are in new ground too. Seems to refer to a particular section of the burial ground.

That's another possibility - thanks GR2   

I've also just noticed the names a couple down from these two women seems to have a 'p' before  the final column - Interesting - wonder what that means. 

I just had another look at the whole page - not all the people with NG after their names are women - and there are lots who have P after them - can't see any with both though - just as a matter of interest.

Not sure what it means but I have found similar references on the burial records on the Lancashire Online Parish Clerk Project site. It seems to refer to the type of grave

Hi,
I am guessing the P may mean Pauper.

NG may mean no grave or None Given.
What the the heading of the column?

Not Given.

But what is non given??  Please!   

All those, on the Lancashire link above, would make me think that 'new ground' might have been a goer.   

There were a lot on that series of records weren't there.

Thanks Carol!

I suppose it would be the same in UK/England.  Does that mean place of grave was not given then.

Dj, the letters were in the same column as the name - no separate column.
