Bramfield burials
« on: Saturday 06 November 10 06:26 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
Can anyone help me? I have ancestors who died in Bramfield in the 1840-1850s and were buried there - is there still a graveyard that I could visit to find their graves? Where is it and who would I contact to find out their grave location? Thank you so much,
Sarah

You can see St. Andrew's church and its surrounding graveyard on google maps street view:

It's very likely that the burial register will be at Hertfordshire Archives & Local Studies (HALS).  Link here:

However many churchyards got quite full in the 19th century so he might be buried elsewhere.
