Title: Death of Abraham Seward Sep 1837
Post by: GlosAncestry on Sunday 03 March 19 14:03 GMT (UK)
The death of Abraham Seward, scene painter, at Gloucester Infirmary, was reported in the Cheltenham Journal and Gloucestershire Fashionable Weekly Gazette of 25 September 1837 (attached). But I can find no trace that his death was registered (OK, it was early days for the new system), but also no trace of a burial anywhere either.

Can anyone suggest where he might have been buried, if not in a Gloucestershire churchyard? Any civil cemeteries open in Gloucester at this date?

Maybe the date was incorrect in the report  :-\

Was he local to the area or just working there, he may have been buried in his home area.
