Title: Gertrude Alice Armiger, d. 1934
Post by: Olleyke on Wednesday 02 July 25 13:40 BST (UK)
Afternoon!

I’m trying to find the burial for my ancestor, Gertrude Alice Armiger. She was born at Burnham Westgate and died 2nd June 1934, aged 47 years at 36 Extons Road, Kings Lynn. On her death certificate it says she was ‘Of Friars Thorn, Burnham Market’. I've look at the following places burial records with no luck. Does anyone else have any ideas where she could be buried? I’m stumped.

* Hardwick Cemetery
* Burnham Sutton
* Burnham Deepdale
* Burnham Norton
* Burnham Overy
* Burnham Sutton with Ulph
* Burnham Thorpe
* Burnham Westgate

Thank you :)

As she never married - who reported her death?

Death certificate says "M Illingworth, Occupier 36 Extons Road, Kings Lynn"

I've just researched M Illingworth, it seems he was the Master of the Kings Lynn Union, which was also on Extons Road

Gertrude was living at Friarsthorn, Burnham Market in 1931 electoral register (also in same household John Armiger). Have you tried the cemetery in Burnham Market sited off Church Walk.

John is her father. Both of her parents are buried at Burnham Sutton.

Do you mean St Marys churchyard? If so yes I've checked their burial records

Ok I'm unsure If I have.

I've checked the Norfolk Record Office catalogue and there's no mention of Burnham Market St Marys burials, but it does mention 'Burnham Wesgate with Burnham Market' several times. Maybe I need to contact the vicar for the church regarding the burial records. There's quite a few churches in close proximity!

Have you contacted Burnham Sutton Church or Parish Counsel perhaps she was buried in the same grave as her parents.

She and her father lived with Agnes (nee Thurston) her half sister who had married William Rout after her mother died.
From the census she had been blind since age 7.

Hi again all.

I've been doing some more digging. Burnham Westgate St Marys is also referred to as 'St Marys Westgate, Burnham Market'.

I'm even more stumped  ???
