Burials in Wellington, Shropshire
« on: Saturday 09 October 10 20:16 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I would look for burials and headstones in Wellington from about 1821-1900?

I am thinking Christ Church and All Saints, are there any headstones there or can you point me in the direction of  a cemetery and are there any records to be found on-line?

Thankyou,

Ann

If you have a look at the familysearch.org pilot site there are 29 pages of burials in Wellington

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html  wait for it to load, click on search/browse etc then Europe, then England Deaths & Burials . hope you find what you are looking for.

Ann, I know this is an old post, but if you are still interested, I can tell you that both Christchurch and All Saints have headstones, though not in their original positions - they have been sited around the outskirts of the churchyards. 
If you need a grave photographing in Wellington, please let me know - both these churches and the cemetery are easy walking distance from me, Jacky

Hi there Jacky - this post is quite old but I was wondering if you were still in the Wellington area? I am trying to find out more information about my ancestor George Shelley (1681-1729) who is buried at All Saints Church in Wellington, Shropshire.
Best, Faye

So sorry for the late response, Faye - we moved out of the Wellington Area back in 2018, so i'm not going to be much help, I'm afraid. It might be worth contacting Tim Carter, the vicar of All Saints tim@allsaints-wellington.org.uk   :)
