England, Cheshire Bishop's Transcripts - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

{HR Known Issues-page}}

Question 1
Question 1: I find records from England, Cheshire Bishop’s Transcripts 1598-1900 showing a person's burial information but the same information for that person found in the England, Cheshire Parish Registers, 1538-2000 is recorded as a christening. Which is correct? Answer 1: Entries for year 1810 events in the Bishop's Transcripts at Lower Peover Parish include the following errors. a. All 39 entries for burials were actually christenings. b. All 15 entries for christenings were actually burials. These problems resulted from the original Bishop's Transcripts being recorded erroneously; the burials were recorded in the Christening section, and christening records placed in the Burials section.
