Title: Burial mystery ref Astin, William Henry, died, 6th Aug. 1888. Duddington.
Post by: Jed Stu on Sunday 27 August 23 15:06 BST (UK)
William Henry Astin, was a miller and baker, he lived at the Mill in Duddington.

Please can anyone help find William Henry Astin's burial place, and or the cemetery please... because his burial is a complete mystery to his family.  I feel that because William H. Astin was a miller, a baker, and of good standing in his village, there should at least be a burial, and or a mention of this somewhere.

I believe William H Astin was attacked,  or in a brawl at a pub in his village, Duddington, shortly before his demise. I know there was an article (possibly even a death notice?) written in a local newspaper, which I'd like to see please, if you're able to find this as well.

I'll add as much as I can below, on William and his family.

I'd love to see anything you can find relating to William H Astin, and the Mill please... many thanks... in anticipation.

Have you the official death certificate for him in case that gives any further information?

Do you know where his wife & parents are buried in case he is close by?
