    Default More Burial Record abbreviations

    Another day another set of Burial Record abbreviations.

    William HACKLEY was buried on 19 Jan 1795 St Margaret, Westminster - Westminster Burials Transcriptions at findmypast.

    Each entry is followed by an abbreviation:

    CD, GN, GD, G½D or CN

    I have tried Googling to find what these mean without success. Can anyone help please?

    Hi again

    If you google St Margaret's Westminster burial codes - this should take you to an old rootsweb page name of GOONS where Wesminster archives have answered a similar enquiry. The abbreviations refer to tbe fees.

    Thank you, grisel. I didn't think to try the word 'code'.

    I have saved the information for the future.

    I can't seem to find that page, nor have I had any success in finding the burial codes elsewhere.
