Title: Lookup request for Rake Lane Cemetery
Post by: Divingduck on Saturday 26 January 19 07:57 GMT (UK)
Hi there,
My GG Grandparents are recorded in family history as being buried in Rake Lane Cemetery.
His name was William Henry Bant Clapp and died in March 1922.
Possibly he is buried with his wife, Matilda Rebecca Clapp (nee Penman) who died in  November 1906.
If there any possibility that someone could check to see if they are buried here and if there is an image of the grave I would be eternally grateful.


Best Regards
Mike

Thank you all, you have been really helpful.
I have to find out who "Jack" is, but I have some ideas.

Thanks again.
