Title: Lookup grave request please?
Post by: jenr on Tuesday 07 August 12 08:49 BST (UK)

Hi there I have an ancestor Charles (Robins/Robert) CLARIDGE he was born in Bristol in 1830 and died in Barton Regis Gloucestershire in 1886 he was married to Amelia LINES in 1870.
I was hoping to find out where he was buried?
Thank you

Hi,
Barton Regis parish records are held at Bristol Records Office. They are on-line, but they don't do lookups.

Thank you Victor I did email them to be told that they dont do lookups that is dissapointing. I am in Australia is there any other ways of getting a lookup that you know of?

Hi Jenny,
You could try the Bristol & Avon Family History Society (FHS). FHSs are a valuable resource usually manned by volounteers who will often do a free lookup. They certainly do at the Glos FHS.
Bristol & Avon FHS

FHSs do have professional genealogists who will do lookups for a fee.
Good hunting!

Do you have the death cert showing the exact date of death and residence at the time? This would help anyone able to do a look up for you as Barton Regis is a large area.
