Hi,
I'm trying to find out who to contact to find out about a possible burial in
Paulton Cemetery in 1887. I don't know the name of the cemetery, and I presume there is one in Paulton?
Is it Paulton Council I contact? If so, does anyone know the email/postal address for them please?
I'm trying to find out where Richard Derrick ELMS is buried. (could be a variation of NELMES, ELMES or similar) I've got his death certificate which says he died on 21st October 1887 at Paulton Engine House, Paulton, Somerset, aged 75.
A friend looked in the burial registers of the parish registers for Holy Trinity Church, Paulton, and he is not buried there. My friend also looked in the burial registers for Farrington Gurney, High Littleton, Midsomer Norton, Ston Easton & Timsbury, and he's not buried there either.
It has been suggested that Richard is probably buried at the local cemetery which would not be recorded in PRs. That's why I am hoping someone can help me with details of Paulton cemetery.
Jan
