Title: Burials at Droitwich
Post by: Jan Ann on Thursday 01 June 06 22:30 BST (UK)
Hello  ;)

Letitia Knight (nee Edgington) died 1878 in the Saint Peter's district of Droitwich Worcestershire, where she lived all her married life - all her children were  christened at Saint Peter's.

Does anyone have access to the burials at St Peter's or can you point me in the direction of a good website?

Cheers
Jan :D

sorry for delay.  crappy computer having a bad hair day.  iv been to church. its got a very small church yard with very few old graves left standing, those with headstones were dated 1848 then 1900's.  i couldnt talk to vicar as she was taking a wedding.  i did write down a web site for you and a parish phone number to see if they could help you further but iv lost it.  i dont work too far from the church so sometime this week il get my butt into gear and rewrite the info you need.  i did go round all visible graves but couldnt see anything with the names given . xxxx

Hi Jan,

Letitia was buried 7 April 1878 aged 66  St Peter Droitwich

I cannot see a Charles Knight in 1878 but there was a man of that name buried in the same cemetery 1 May 1886 aged 77. A further Charles buried 1902 aged 67.

Hope this may help.

Frances :)
