It includes an index to the names of the approximately 450 subjects of all memorial inscriptions. The index is searchable by name, year of death, year of birth, and other details with QFHSdatasearch, with search results linked to the corresponding photographs for display.
The photographs show details of former residents and others associated with the district, with dates of death recorded on the monumental inscription ranging from 1913 to 2008. The index is a valuable resource for family history research in the area, especially as time and vandalism take their toll on the headstones. As well as confirming or showing possible errors in the burial register, the monumental inscriptions often show family relationships for three or four generations, including names of people not buried in the grave.
Details can include parents, birthplace and date, marriage information, titles and honours.
