Thanks Chris! After I posted I looked at the burial registers yet again, for any clues. Did a search on the Vicar who performed the ceremony and bingo he was at St Mary the Virgin, Merton. Did the same thing for Daisy's husband etc and all the different clergy were at the same church. Mystery solved. Thanks again.

Family History Beginners Board / Merton Surrey burial

Looking for the grave of my great aunt Daisy Shaw ne้ Cole. She died on 31 Dec 1913 (Nelson Hospital) and was buried in the Parish of Merton on the 5th Jan 1914, having lived at 36 Hartfield Road for her 5 months of marriage. Her baby son George died on 27th Dec 1913 at 7 days old and was buried in Wimbledon Cemetery on the 8th Jan 1914. Daisy wasn't buried with George and as far as I can see, not even in the same cemetery ( searched D.O.L) which is incredibly sad. Would dearly love to find Daisy's final resting place, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks All

Not that I am aware of, Shaun but the night is young. Well done for finding another Elatch though. Thanks

Love the theory of the name's origin, Hillhurst. Eletch's family lived near and worked on the waterways in London and dealings with the East India Company and the East India Docks were likely. I guess they heard a pretty name or met somone called it and gave it to their baby.  ;D

Thanks John, for your change of name theory. I've worked from that angle before but I will have another go  ;)

I have an ancestor called Eletch (sometimes spelt Elatch) Burton. She was born in Pimlico 1840.
I have her baptism, 1881 and 1911 census only. I am sure she didn't marry before the age of 69, if at all. With such an unusual name I thought she would be easier to track. She doesn't appear with her family as a baby or young child but I can track both parents and all her siblings from birth to death.

Has anyone ever come across the name Eletch before or have any idea of its origin?
If you have a connection to or have more information about Eletch, I would be happy to hear from you.

Thanks
