I'm just wondering whether it is valid to compare burial data with death data at that date - would everyone from Packington who died in that decade have been buried in Packington? Was there a workhouse in Packington, and if not, were many people from Packington sent to a workhouse elsewhere? And if they died in that workhouse, were they sent back to Packington for burial? I'm just wondering whether there could be a correlation between social class / income and burial place which would skew the results.
