Laki eruption 8 June 1783

I was watching the Timewatch programme on Monday about the Laki eruption
on 8th June 1783 and how deaths increased over Europe in the period
afterwards.

It was said that there was a two to three times increase in some parts
of England. I just wondered if anyone has come across this whilst going
through parish registers.
