Title: Thomas Weston burial Eastbourne 1876 age 74
Post by: Norm Weston on Sunday 11 August 24 14:07 BST (UK)
Going back over my old records I find the only source I have for this burial was from the old IGI and a now defunct Rootsweb download. It seems to be able to cite this burial properly, I need to look here:-

Burial registers Date:1813-1983
Creator:Parish of Eastbourne St Mary
Repository:East Sussex Record Office
ESRO reference:PAR 309/1/5Level

Can anybody help please?
TIA

He was born 20 April 1902 and was buried 24 February 1876 so my genealogy software makes him 74. Thanks anyway.
