I know some burial records do list the cause of death. Unusual I know, but the cemetery at York is one. My hubby got a huge list if his rellies in York from there all with cause of death too. Wouldn't it be nice if they all did that. The exception rather than the rule I'm afraid though. Margaret

Kirstie, As I used to tell my students, there is never a daft question, just stupid mistakes made by people who DON'T ask questions.

NBI contains the following information Date of Burial Name Age (sometimes!) Name of cemetry. - so she obviously sourced your information from somewhere else!
