'n Interessante eienskap van die dooprekords van Kirkburton tussen 1568 en 1710, is die verwysings na die begrafnis van chrisom kinders, wat op die oog af op gereelde basis gedoen was. Geskiedkundiges is geneig om te verskil oor wat 'n chisom kind was. Clearly such children took their name from the white chrisom cloth in which they were wrapped during the ceremony, and ultimately from the chrism oil used to anoint them. What is unclear is wether they were infants dying before baptism, or between baptism and their mother’s churching (the rite of the purification or thanksgiving of a woman after childbirth), when the cloth was returned to the church. Understanding the exact meaning of the term is important for an analysis of infant mortality, but it also has implications for the study of popular religion.
