East Staffordshire records feature Burton on Trent's historic Stapenhill Cemetery

Records for the two cemeteries managed by East Staffordshire Borough Council in the English West Midlands are now available on www.deceasedonline.com.

The major site is the historic Stapenhill Cemetery in Burton on Trent, which opened almost exactly 150 years ago and features many records reflecting 19th Century industries and, in particular, numerous names associated with Burton's beer and brewing heritage. During much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Burton was regarded as Britain's 'beer capital' and at its peak there were dozens of breweries, the most famous of which are still well known brands today: Bass, Marston's and Worthington, to name a few.

Discover which famous impressionist masterpiece by Edouart Manet features one of Burton's finest brews; read Emma Jolly's latest blog (www.deceasedonlineblog.blogspot.co.uk) about the Burton brewers and the history of East Staffordshire.

Other Staffordshire records available on Deceased Online include The National Archives collection for sites in Rugeley, Stafford, and Tipton, as well as the Church of the Holy Trinity in Burton on Trent.
