Hastings Cemetery & Crematorium and more

[flinders]

Both are in Grave Division A, Section T, Row B, Number 30.  This is a private grave on which there is a Marble Headstone and Kerbs. - is anyone able to go and take a picture for me

William Bleasby died in Hastings aged 71, a Clerk in Holy Orders, was buried on 25/4/1885

Alicia Bernard Bleasby died in Plymouth aged 94, a Spinster was buried on 6/1/1915


Also - would you think normal for a person who dies in Plymouth to be buried in Hastings - and would you think there would be a news article - as Alicia was living with niece in Plymouth at time of death - they must have had money to get her buried hastings and a marble headstone

can some one shed light on the Clerk of the holy order - William and Alicia (brother and sister ) lived in 10 Church Rd - someone tells me this is now the Greek Orthodox church - would like to now more about 10 Church Rd

Hi
I assume you have all these but if not
The 1881 census is free to search on either www.ancestry.co.uk or www.familysearch.org   If you look for William Beazley in Sussex you will find him with Alicia in Hastings.
William age 69 unm Clerk in Holy Orders (without cure of souls) born Cork, Ireland
Alicia age 58 sister b Cork
plus two servants
In 1871 he is at 10 Church Road Hastings age 60 and is.  His sister Alicia is living with him again.  Two servants also.
The 1861 is hard to read but they appear to be lodging at the same address and the first named person is Mary Bleazby wife    43 Stationer's wife?

Yes, moved it to the correct place where I thought it would get more coverage and possibly some feedback - hence the extra info from Andrea (Sillgen)

Wind and rain are howling down here in Hastings at the moment, so the picture has to wait a day or so I am afraid - but dont fret, will go and do it as soon as I am able.

Oh thanks - never know where to post info - soemtimes

I know all about the info on the census - but what would be great to understand what the "Clerk in Holy Orders (without cure of souls)" - actually means - is this church of England/Ireland or some other religious worship   - what church building would he have attened
 
10 "Church Rd hastings - would today's building be the same as when they were there - is it a

"Without cure of souls" just means that he does not have responsibility for a particular parish.  However, he obviously did in the past if you look at the Crockford's entries when he was a curate.  Many ordained men were schoolmasters rather than working priests or in his case it looks as if he was of independent means.  I would assume he was C of E though he was ordained in Ireland so was probably Church of Ireland at that time.   Lots on google if you do a search.
