I live near GY and was ironically in St Nicholas churchyard today. Although there is also the Old Cemetery and the New Cemetery to the south of the churchyard itself. They may be buried in either the old or new cemetery as many of their graves date from 1850 to recent.

Find A Grave has a list of Great Yarmouth and Gorleston cemeteries and churchyards.

https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/search?name=Yarmouth&locationId=&page=1#cem-2371134

I have looked at the transcribed memorials for Fox, King, Swash and Money names for the old cemetery, new cemetery and the St Nicholas' churchyard and no obvious results.

Thank you very much for your help

« on: Saturday 12 July 25 18:10 BST (UK) »

Hello
Can anyone help me please? I’m in Great Yarmouth, but only tomorrow. Some of my ancestors are buried in St Nicholas churchyard, which is huge. I wondered if anyone has access to tell me their locations so I can take a look and see if any stones still exist?
Elizabeth Fox nee Swash died 1916
Elizabeth Swash nee Newson died 1867
Willoughby King nee Money died 1877
Christmas Thomas Money died 1869
Susanna Money nee Church died 1854
Willoughby Church nee Dybol died 1822

Any help greatly appreciated as I am only here a short time! Thank you

With a surname like Taylor & seemingly so little other info - buy the marriage cert to establish her fathers name & occupation

Where does she fit into your FH? Are you descended from one of her children?

Thank you. It’s a tree I’m doing on someone’s behalf and they have no idea about their ancestors. The information I had was purely her name and that she married William MacGregor Gordon - whose family I have already researched. It’s her parents I want to track down.

Was she Mary Jane Gordon - died 1984 with a birthdate 4th February 1903?

I dont know any of her dates yet, only her name and who she married

How is she connected to you? Presumably you have some idea of dates or family after 1921?

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp

Mary Jane Taylor b March quarter 1903 with mother’s name Rogers might fit with the given birthdate on the other records we have found.

Free BMD has a marriage - John William Taylor and Elizabeth Rogers.

You can search 1911 census on Family Search if you do not have access to other sites.
