Post by: fishnchips16 on Monday 11 August 14 12:09 BST (UK)

Hi, I am researching my grt grandfather Napoleon Bonaparte SUTTON, on his death certificate it states he committed suicide by hanging in july 1861 in the Hulme district.
I have 2 questions would their be any inquest or newspaper reports regarding the death & how would I find the graveyard where he is buried.

kind regards

Frank

Hi Frank

A warm welcome to Rootschat!

I have had a quick look on the Manchester Council burials site but can't see an entry for Napoleon.

There seems to be a connection to the cathedral in Manchester as that is where William Bagguley Sutton their sons was baptised in 1829 and  John Baguly Sutton in 1837, Peter in 1835 and Sarah in 1835 too as well as Barbara in 1840. Joseph Henry bap in Christ Church, Manchester 1844. Sarah  his daughter was married in 1851 in Choriton-Upon-Medlock, Lancashire.

His parents Peter and Sara were cousins and he was baptised in St Georges Manchester

Frank, do you have access to Ancestry? It is free in some libraries. There are several trees on Ancestry with Napoleon listed some of them private. If you like, I could send a message to the owner of a private tree to see if they know the burial place.

I have looked at so many websites so have been scrolling back, but can't find it again, it gave full names of the couple, date/place of marriage and  a note which said they were first cousins. I then checked to see who his parent were noted as . So it is something you will need to check back with records as with most online information.
If/when I find it I will add the link
Nowhere states his burial place as far as I could see and I have searched the British Newspapers can't find any inquest. Likely newspaper would be the Manchester Evening news
