Swillinggor, or Willinggor, Staffordshire

I'd agree it's 'Rachell'.

As to the cause of deaths, have you seen the actual register or are these just transcriptions from Familysearch?
Sometimes the burial register can give cause of death.

Are they at 'Astley' as in your first couple of posts, or at 'Anstey' as in your last post?

You're quite right the town is Anstey in Warwickshire.
No I have not yet gone back to check the images; I have relied only on the transcript.
I'll let you know how I get along.
Cheers

Thank you, Capetown for all of that.
I'll be busy tomorrow in prep for a family funeral. Should be able to get a look see on Tuesday. 
Thanks again

I checked the images of the burials at St Martins, Brm - no cause of death given.
It is clear from the large number of burials that something was going on - at least one and sometimes several burials the same day.
Epidemics were common then.
