Finally … I have now established that my gt gt grandmother was buried at “ Bromsgrove, All Saints - March 2nd 1938 “
Found the church but not too sure where the actual cemetery is 🤷♀️
This has been such a mission - can anyone give me a clue as to where it is located , please.?
Thank you 😊
-
Have you tried contacting the church?

Ha - thank you , will do😊
In my naivety I just assumed it would be with the church or close by - quick trip out yesterday and nothing obvious 🤦♀️
-
I did look at Google maps and there certainly doesn't appear to be a cemetery near to the church.
-
But looking at old maps -

What as the source of your information about the burial please?
-
Ancestry have recently published updated records relating to Worcestershire deaths and burials….
-
Thanks you for the link to map… it’s a mystery - just when I thought I’d cracked it ….
Interesting to see the football ground marked , as family were heavily involved with the towns team at that time. She apparently purchased land to be used for that purpose.
I’ll keep trying !

I wonder if the ‘burial’ record originates from the church but is in fact only a record of the fact that the funeral took place there, the actual burial, conducted by one of the clergy of All Saints, taking place at one of Bromsgroves Cemeteries.

I’m now a bit confused because in this thread you say that you’ve visited All Saints Cemetery?

Hi Jen
Of course that may well be the case - not even considered that 🤦♀️
I’ve walked the length and breadth of others in Bromsgrove to no avail , but yes , you may well have a good point.👍
The latest ancestry record is the best clue I have found . Her obituary in the local paper is extensive but no mention of where she actually ended up .
Hopefully someone may well be able to point me in the general direction.
Thank you
Sharon
I visited All Saints church but unable to locate its associated burial plots - if indeed it has any !

Presumably in that case you were searching for a memorial stone?
There might not be one.
Have you consulted the cemetery burial registers?
-
That’s exactly the same conclusion I’ve come to , Jen
Ive emailed contact at All Saints and will wait and see…..
-
If she’s at one of the towns cemeteries I think you might need to go to the county archives who apparently hold the old burial registers.
It will be interesting to know what the church has to say but I doubt they’ll have any records to help you.
You could try Redditch Council who maintain the cemeteries
