Good Afternoon Everyone!
I am currently trying to find my GG Grandfathers' grave, I know he is definitely buried in the town of Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire but I've had no luck finding the grave plot. His name is Ernest Samuel Anderson 1877-1939. I did find this at my local library although it doesn't specify which cemetery he is in, can anybody possibly help in locating it?
Kind Regards,
Tom

It is headed Parish of Wolverton, St Mary :-\

He died at Northampton General Hospital on 7th December 1939

If you look at the image, you will see that it refers to the church of St Mary, Wolverton, and I would therefore assume that the burials took place there, rather than Stony Stratford. :-\ :-\

The church service was at St Marys and he was buried at London Road Cemetery with his wife as per Wolverton Express 15th December 1939

Well done :)

I did find that the church was permanently shut sometime during the 1960s, it's located just down from London Road Cemetery so makes sense they're in there!
Thanks
