Please Note – It is not possible to be certain that some of the earliest records refer to Airton burials as they are in a book which combines Airton and Rylstone records which was started in 1709. Some of the earlier entries are just memoranda that have been added to the book. The date of Death is provided in the table above, Burial dates are available for most of these entries by consulting the RG6 records. This listing may not be fully comprehensive, please contact the
