The Bishop’s Transcripts of Burials cover the Diocese of Chester which covers the historic County of Cheshire in its pre-1974 boundaries. The Bishop’s transcripts were created from the original Parish registers and were intended to be faithful copies so you could find two entries for the burial of the same ancestor if both the parish register and the bishop’s transcript exist for the same parish and date.
