Title: Gosberton Clough Burials?
Post by: AngelFish on Friday 16 November 12 08:19 GMT (UK)
Where would burials be made for (non-conformists) the people of Gosberton Clough in the 1840's?

There was a Primitive Methodist chapel on Clough Road (not too far from the current Methodist Chapel) built in 1835. I don't know if it had a graveyard???  There are now houses/garden/field entrance on the site.

I think the nearby cemetery at West Pinchbeck didn't open until 1850.

Thanks,
Angelfish

I happen to know a local vicar who could maybe answer this question for you.  I'll email him and let you know what he says.

I would be interested in discovering this information as several of my RYLOTT & WITHERINGTON ancestors living in or close to Gosberton Clough were of the Methodist faith in the 19th & early 20th centuries. (Perhaps even earlier!)

Hi
Do you know which Methodist chapel they used? Have you checked the parish registers already just in case? Do you have any names and dates or death or burial? What it it you are looking for Peter, the graves? If you are able to give more information someone might be more able to help you  :)

I need to go and view some archived Methodist records which are held at Spalding Gentlemans Society - the problems with that is the only times it can be done are Monday mornings and Thursday evenings... when Baby Angelfish isn't at nursery, and my baby-sitters are booked up until Christmas  :'(

I have heard from the vicar and he knows where to find the information you need.  I will let you know as soon as I have the answer.

I'm afraid I'm no closer to finding the answer to this.
