I have read through the replies to date and see no mention of the introduction of Civil Registration in 1837. This had a dramatic effect in that not all marriages took place in a church and not all burials took place in a churchyard and overtime the number of baptisms has reduced considerably.
I can only speak for my local church but today there are far more more funerals than baptisms and weddings!
