Thanks to Peter Harrop for indexing the Balshaw burials in various church registers before 1837. A few were unreadable and need further clarification. Where necessary, I have used ? symbols to indicate that there was some doubt about interpretation of the information on the microfiche.
Each entry is given in the following format:
Date (day/month/year), Name, Age, Place, Son/daughter of:, Wife/husband of,
