Widnes Cemetery, one of three cemeteries in the new release
The records are from Halton Cemetery, Widnes Cemetery, and Runcorn Cemetery, and cover the years 1860 to 2020. Deceased Online is a central database of statutory burial and cremation registers for the UK, launched in 2009, which makes it possible for burial and cremation authorities around the country to convert their register records, maps and photographs into digital form and bring them together into a central searchable collection at www.deceasedonline.com
These newly-added records cover hundreds of burials for Halton Borough, which as an authority has existed since 1974. Its formation incorporated Runcorn Rural and Urban Districts (Cheshire), Whiston Rural District, and Widnes Municipal Borough (Lancashire). The area currently has a population of over 120,000 people.
