Warwickshire / London Road Cemetery

Hi all I was wondering if anyone has a plan of London Road Cemetery? my G/father was buried there in the 1940s in a communal grave, I do know the grave number but don't currently have it available to put in this post but if someone has a plan then I will look back through my records and dig it out. I did go to the Coventry history centre last winter who supplied me with a photocopy of the relevent area, but when I arrived at the cemetery it made little or no sense whats so ever, I spent a good 3 hours trying to find the grave location. I live quite a distance from the cemetery and Sundays is the only day that I can go and obviously no one is there to assist neither is the history centre open for me to look at the bigger plan in an attempt to get better bearings. any help would be very much appreciated as I would relay like to visit this grave. Thanks.. Dave

Thanks Haywood, I think you are right I can't find it in my old notes at the moment the but name Gleeson rings a bell for some reason, I will have a good look through my old note books and see what I turn up.

Hi Marg, yes I get to the history museum as often as I can, I haven't been for a while though due to work commitments I had to shelve my research for a few months, but now the dark nights are back its full steam ahead again. I would think looking at the marriage details you found that Cecilia and William were possibly RC, but perhaps Edward Marlow was C of E, hence Emma's baptism at St Paul's. correct me if I'm wrong but am I right in thinking that if Cecilia and William had separated being of the RC faith a divorce would not have been allowed or is my mind working overtime?. Also as I said earlier I found a death listed for a William Naughten in Ireland 2 years after the wedding DOD 1879, if this is the same William then perhaps he went back home for some reason and Cecilia stayed in England with her family, she may not have know he had died explaining why no marriage can be found to Edward Marlow, I get the impression that Cecilia was not a very well educated young lady, on Emma's birth cert it says " X the mark of Cecilia Marlow formally Fahy" this indicates to me she couldn't write and if my memory serves me right I'm sure last time I looked for her I found her listed in a census as an imbecile which I think would also indicate that she couldn't write and possibly not able to read. Perhaps she spent her adult life thinking she was an adulteress when she was actually a widow.
As you say Marg its strange you could find no baptism records next time I'm at the history museum I will see what I can find, also I want to try and find were she is buried, it could be the Queen St cemetery or possibly Rycroft which opened in 1894, I hope its the later as I have more chance of finding the grave as Queen St is long gone. Thanks.. Dave

Now you come to mention it I do remember that previous post and the reference to Penkridge, I can't remember how at the time I came to the conclusion it was a different family but as Haywood says it looks like its the wrong Martin. So from what MargP found out Cecilia's name was Fahy as shown on Emma's birth cert and not Foy, interesting also to see they were married at St Pats, the old church has long gone but it was replaced with a new one about 50 years ago and is not far from were I live. Very interested in Tall Al's post though regarding Cecilia passing away in 1906, could I ask Tall Al if he could let me know under which surname the death was recorded so that I can try and trace her burial. I personally assumed that Cecilia had lived a lot longer as I can remember my late father telling me about her talking with a very broad Irish accent and smoking a pipe as though he could remember seeing her, but he wasn't born until 1922? perhaps he was just repeating stories he had been told by his mom Emma. Thanks for your replies much appreciated.. Dave

Hi, no there is no fathers name and the informant was Celia Marlow the mother. The conclusion that I'm fast coming to is that Celia married William Naughten who then maybe died, she then remarried to Edward Marlow?
. I can find no marriage of a Celia or Cecilia Naughton or Foy only the Naughten/Foy marriage as mentioned in a previous post, however I did see listed a death of a William Naughten during 1879 but this was in Ireland so not sure if its the same person,
This lady is a complete mystery.

That Baptisim looks good as Emma was born on 3/3. Thanks for that
