I have this record of names but cannot determine whether they are burials or baptisms. How can I find out what they are?

Thank you

Pamela

    Dellory Matthews is correct. This batch is a particular batch of Index to baptism records, because it has names and dates it should be indexed.

    This batch has brought other similar questions.

    How you know that this is a batch of baptism records rather than burial records?

    We were able to see the film to determine the type of records. 

    Thank you for helping us to correct this project.

    These look like Burials to me. But maybe you should wait for someone more experienced than me to answer.

    Thank you FGGM - I just wondered how you know that this is a batch of baptism records rather than burial records. Is it from previous similar batches that say it is a baptism record that you have done or is there some other way of ascertaining this?

    I will continue to change this batch from burial to baptism now.

    Thanks again everyone.
