Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Burial Lookup - Bristol - 1994
« on: Sunday 23 August 15 19:22 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for the reply  :) I was originally told he died in Feb but then told it was October so I think that date must be right.  The family are sure he was buried.  If there is any way to trace it that would be amazing.

Thanks for any help

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Burial Lookup - Bristol - 1994
« on: Monday 17 August 15 20:45 BST (UK)  »
HI Everyone,

I haven't done any family history research in 6 years or so, but had a recent request from my father in law for some information.  I'm not even sure if this info is available or where to look.  Any guidance would be really helpful.

We would love to find the burial place for:
Michael John Maddaford, born 11th Jan 1963, Died October 1994 in Bristol. 
May have been a catholic burial.

Many Thanks  ;)

Mi Mick,

How lovely to hear from you! So sorry to hear about Basil, what a terrible shame they cleared his house out. My mum Davina was in contact with Derek a few years back. I have information on the Worsdale family I'd be happy to email to you. It's a fair few years since I've done any family history so I'm a bit rusty and a  sure there's a lot more info out there to be found now. If you send me a personal message with your email address we can discuss the Worsdales some more.

Take care
Lena

That would be so good of you if you can, how very nice of you!  ;D

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi ya,

If you are ever in the area and it isn't out of your way to pop into the church, then that would be fantastic, it would be very kind of you and greatly appreciated.  :)

Thank you for the links, they made for very interesting reading.  Fingers crossed the plaque may still be there?!

Thanks again
Lena

Nottinghamshire / Plaque in St Marys Church, Nottingham?
« on: Wednesday 11 October 06 10:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone!

My GGGG Grandad, John WORSDALE was a famous astrologer in his day and my mum recently received a letter from her cousin stating that in the 1940's when he was stationed in Nottingham, he went to a Church (he thinks it was St Marys, High Pavement, The Lace Market, Notts) and there was a brass commemorative plaque for a WORSDALE, believed to be a John.  He was told by an interested churchman that WORSDALE had been an esteemed Astrologer in his time and showed him some examples of his work.

Now, here is where I need some help.  I live in Bristol and lack of funds means I am unable to visit Nottingham to have a look for this plaque myself, we also don't have any family or friends in the area we can call on to help.   
Does anyone visit this church?  can they recall seeing such a plaque?  It may not even exist anymore but it would mean so much to me and my family if it could be found it and what it says.

Or does anyone know of another way I can try and trace it?  Would it be worth writing to someone at the church and hoping they can help?

Any help greatly appreciated
Lena

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / NBI Lookup - WORSDALE
« on: Tuesday 29 August 06 12:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

If anyone has The National Burial Index 2 would they be able to have a look for any Worsdale's buried in Donington?   I would love to know if any other Worsdale's are buried there, apart from the one I know already (Mary buried 1851).  Had a look on the IGI but didn't tell me anything new.

Hope someone can help

Lena
