Cemeteries in Selby?

[simonsez]

Hello,

I am trying to locate info and location of burial for the following person in my family tree:

James WRAY was born about 1836 in Preston, Lancs.  He was baptised on 14 Feb 1836 in Preston, Lancs.  Christened at St John Preston.  He died in 1906.  Death registered Selby 2Q 1906, aged 70

I live in the US so its not so easy getting the info without going through the government registrars office besides i dont know where he is buried.

Thanks

The burial is on

James Wray age 70  flax dresser died at Park Row, Selby
buried 9 June 1906 Selby Cemetery  Plot ref: 4077.
Minister BM Rowland.

I remembered Selby burials were on FHO from finding a couple of my ancestors buried there.

Jill,

Thanks again for your help but i was wondering if the Eliza Wray above who died 16 years later is buried in selby as doing the search on FHO yielded no results?  Its weird that her death is registered in houghton and not selby.  She must have either moved after her husbands death or there was a falling out?  It could be possible that her death was in houghton but she was buried in selby.

Cheers

Simon, I live in Selby, will go and have a look for you

Itch,

I would greatly appreciate it , Would definitely answer whether his wife Eliza was buried with him.  This site has helped me more with my genealogy questions in the last 3 months than i have gotten in 7 years on another well known site. 

Please let me know what you find and if its not too much to ask for a picture i would be very grateful

Cheers

No problem, simon - i'll go in the next couple of days when the weather's OK.  Will certainly take a picture of anything I find - anything else local you need whilst the camera is out??

Thank you, i cant think of anything  else as  this is the only burial plot location that i have had confirmed so far. The person you are looking for has his father buried in bramham. Here is hs details but i dont know where in bramham nor how far is it from  selby? I have only been to wetherby and york.  Is clifford cum boston near you?

James WRAY was born about 1805 in Preston, Lancs.  He died in 1863.  Death registered Bramham 1Q 1863.  Surname sometimes Reay in earlier records.

Thanks again.
