Ronald Daniell died 22 March 1902 The Wharf, Birdingbury, Rugby Warwickshire.
Aged 17 months. cause of death Leukemia. He was in the care of his foster Mother Mary Ann Halford.
I have spoken by phone to Birdingbury, they have no records of his burial, the lady I spoke to said that "The Wharf" was a couple of miles up the road, so he was probably buried in Stockton.
I have spoken to the Council at Stockton, they tell me their records only go back to 1971, as many many records prior to 1971 were lost, the council said to speak to the Church Minister, which I did last night, their records only go back to 1931.
I have spoken to Rugby Registrar, no luck. All these calls are made from Australia to England and costing me a fortune.
So can anyone on the board please help me.
Thanks-Trish

Hi Rosiemagic
Is it possible to check with the Records Office ? The lady I spoke to at the Church residence said that all their previous records would have been sent to the Records Office.
Thank-Trish

Hi Trish,
Yes I can do that for you.......it'll be around 2 weeks time though due to work commitments, is that ok with you?
If so, send me as much details as you can.

Thank you RM, your help is greatly appreciated.
All the information I have is as above, he was in the care of his foster Mother Mary Ann Halford, but it also mentions on his death certificate "Son of Annie Daniell Hospital Nurse".
The last person I spoke to last week with was a lady at the Rectory of the local church, she said all their record pre 1931 are at the records office.
Thanks Again-Trish

Hi,
I can't help with where, but Rosiemagic being in that area can tell you where he was buried, but Ancestry have put Warwickshire records online and there was this

Entry made by F W Barrows, rector, Birbury.

Claire, thanks so much for this information greatly appreciated.
Yes I was hoping Rosiemagic was going to be able to tell me where, I'a sure when she has time she will slot it in.
Thanks again :)

Don't worry Trish I haven't forgotten about you.......had an un-scheduled stay in hospital so my October visit to the records office didn't happen - I go every 4-5 weeks if I can. You're on my list for my November visit :-)

Following on from Claire's message the attached link takes you to a surname list of Monumental Inscriptions for Birdingbury, St. Leonard's

Unfortunately Ronald is not listed which may mean he did not have a headstone or that it has not survived.

It's quite possible that the child may have been buried in the grave of another person. It was the custom for children to be buried in the same plot as another person buried on the same day, especially if the parent(s) had little or no money. If there were other family members interred in that graveyard, it's also possible that the child may have been interred with them. Either way, the existance of any marker would be fairly unlikely. When I visited a graveyard recently, the archivist looked up the burial plot records of my g.g. grandparents, and we found that their grand-daughter (who had died at the age of 4, about 5 years after they died).

Thanks RM I knew you would get around it sometime.
Sorry to hear of your spell in hospital, hope it isn't anything serious.

Thanks Sylvia will check that out. Thanks also Pinetree. Thanks also to Nick, I don't think the finance would be an issue with this family, as the Father was a wealthy manufacturer and it is a long sad story, will tell it another day.
Trish :)
