Hi Sharon,

You can have a search done at Wiggington Cemetry, but it is £15 for each search!

http://www.tamworth.gov.uk/health_and_social_care/death_and_bereavement/tamworth_cemeteries.aspx

click on Grave Search under More Information.

Hope this helps!

Judy

It does say on that side that you can check them for free at Tamworth Library.

maybe worth a visit?

Hi Sharon

Wigginton is a municipal cemetery run by the council.

Unless your relatives were buried in a parish churchyard, it's highly unlikely the church will be able to help.

There could be some confusion here.  Tamworth's municipal cemetery is on Wigginton Rd., but there is also the graveyard attached to Wigginton Parish Church. You should be sure which one you want. (Note there are only two g's in Wigginton.)
