I see from previous threads you are researching Shorncliffe cemetary
In the 22nd December edition of The Folkestone Chronicle there is a letter written by the incumbent of Folkestone, Matthew Woodward dated 11th December 1855.
It says that between March 1854 and March 1855 the were 190 burials.
which includes the season in which Sandgate was visited by cholera, and many cut off by that disease were buried in the parish churchyard.
The newspaper article was about a new burial ground for Folkestone
What period are you interested in? Are you thinking of a particular epidemic eg. 1849? Is it about burial at night in mass graves and cholera burial grounds?
For your information, Shorncliffe is an MOD Cemetery not a CWGC Cemetery.FYI, I didn’t say it was. Perhaps you should read the post more thoughtfully.
Hi all I know is he is buried in Shorncliffe Military Cemetery.
The CWGC does NOT list him in this cemetery. You can easily check this for yourself online.
You need to check your information source - perhaps his name or burial place is not quite right, or his burial is missing. Since you are completely unaware of any date or year or century for his death, searching is rather a waste of time.
There is a record on Ancestry - Flight Lieutenant Robert ANDREWS , born 19 Feb 1947, died 6 Jan 1979, buried at Shorncliffe Military Cemetery. Service Number 689274k. RAF Brampton.
