Herefordshire / Re: delahay
« on: Friday 23 August 13 14:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I too have Delahay in Blakemere & Staunton.  I have a James born c 1796 who marries a Theodocia Llewellyn (census's visable marriage births etc not so far).  They have my ancestor Jane Delahay shown as 7 on the 1851 census but she must have been born in 1841 as she marries William Pember in 1856.  Other siblings John 1836, Ann 1837, George 1840, & Mary 1842.  Have any of these people come up in your research at all.

PS this is my fathers maternal line.  His DNA has just come back as type K Levantine i.e. Ashkenazi Jew or Palestinian.  Looks like I've got a long way to go to find the link!
Many Thanks

As per one of the posts before "most" people didn't have headstones and no individual actual places were noted at that time of burial. Rods were often used (pushed in the ground) to locate "free" space to bury people in space was so limited. If it says they were buried there and you have a date then they were.  Perhaps it would be worth looking in the local records library to see if they reinterred the remains elsewhere when they made it a park or if they are still there.  If they didn't reinter then you can be pretty sure your relative is there. They buried so fast and thick that pauper graves were only about a foot under the surface and apparently the stentch was atrocious. There are various documents generally that say about moving headstones to consecrated ground when parks were made, however, even if there was a stone, which is unlikely, not maintained it would probably be unreadbale now anyway.

Ah yes my cousin said she had heard that some were moved to Witton but she thought it was the over flows they found a few years ago.

Do you know anything about St Matthews, Leicester Street, Duddeston cum Nechells.  It was bombed in the war.  But we have completely lost a 1915 burial for Mary Ann Myers she's not with her husband Martin Myers at Witton and St Matthews was the closest although I think they may have been Catholic so thought of St Josephs.  I know the St Josephs are at St Chads apart from some missing years.  Did St Matthews have a cemetery do you know?

Many Thanks once again

Thanks Jim,

I didn't know there used to be a cemtery in Whittal Street - it's so built up now.  Do you think they left the remains in place when they did the building? That seems kind of wrong somehow but there aain I suppose they think they've found a king under a car park in Leicester  don't they :-)

Many Thanks for your kind help again

Hi,
I've got a burial record for St Phillip's for my ggg grandfather Charles Cameron on 7th Feb 1847 it says a film number & St Phillip's.

I can't translate this to a real place.  Where was St Phillip's grave yard (the big one round the cathedral?)  Is what you can see the extent of what it was.  i.e. do you think if I go mooching round I might find a headstone or were there paupers graves and he might have been in one of them?

The ref is:  Engalnd Death's & Burials 1538 - 1991 - Pg 444 No 3549 FHL Microfilm 814858

Many Thanks for any help

Lisa
