Thank you I will have a look for others I know a lot have gone at Christ Church from the 1900's so not holding out much chance of finding one from 1832 but who knows I might just get lucky

Don't get upset if there isn't one. If you go for a wander yourself, at least you'll have had a day out ;-)

Make a note of any other Hyde headstones you find - they may fit in somewhere

That's a burial record.

No, the number 187 is the entry number in the Parish Register of Burials, not the burial plot. As its not recorded, the church probably doesn't have a ledger recording who was buried where.

Assuming the Church still exists, you could ask them if there is a headstone in situ. Many have been moved to the side of the graveyard to make it easier to maintain, or indeed, the plot reused.

Reminder - more people 'didn't' have a headstone than those who did

Do you mean as part of a more recent birth registration for example:-

District no: 0021D
Reg no: D88A<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Ent no: 022
DOR: 199

These are the numbers necessary to order a certificate.

The entry is slightly different from older birth registrations which have a volume number and page number.

Do you mean the number that a birth, death or marriage is given on a register such as below (from FreeBMD) which you can use to purchase a certificate? It gives the volume and page number on the register

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Dec 1891 (>99%)
Davies Robert Daniel Oswestry 6a 654

Anstee/Bucks; Russell/London; Durose; Pease/North Yorks; Kelly/IoM
