Hi guys,
I have death records for my 3rd great grandparents William and Sarah Lamb. William was born 1817 died 1892 and Sarah was born 1821 and died 1911 in Hastings. I'm pretty sure that they are buried at All Saints as that was where they last resided before they died but I cant find any information for both of them to locate their graves. Can anyone help pls?
Any information would be appreciated.

Hi there,
I have had a quick look for you and discovered a William Lamb aged 75, buried 07.01.1892, and a Sarah Lamb aged 88, buried 17.06.1911, both in Hastings Cemetery, The Ridge, Hastings.
Hope this is of some help. If you contact the cemetery they may be able to help further.
Regards,
Lesley

Oh Lesley 😀 thank you so so much. This means alot to me. You are an absolute star.
I did contact All Saints Church to see if they were buried there but the Reverend told me that a safe was stolen a few years back and it contained parish records. The safe was found opened in a stream and all records ruinedm i thought that was the end.
I will contact the cemetary and see if they can help me.
Again, thank you so much 😀

Hi, I'm so glad you have mentioned this as it now seems I have the wrong death date for Sarah as she was married to William Lamb. I have the death certificate for William but not for Sarah and I only found a death for her in 1911. Can I ask what site you got the details from for The Hastings and St Leonards Observer please? I have alot of Lamb family that died in Hastings and it would come in very handy.
Thank you ;)
