Strensham Burial Records
« on: Saturday 10 September 11 22:11 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone is able to help with my search for the death of James Clarke? I believe that Strensham parish burial records may help.

James Clarke was born c1812 in Strensham and is last seen on the 1851 census still living in Strensham with his wife Jane and children. This is the last I've heard of him.

Jane then remarries (still in Strensham) in 1859 and the marriage record states she was a widow.

However, I have been unable to find James Clarke's death certificate. If he died then I assume his death would be between 1851 and 1859 in Strensham. If he isn't recorded as being buried in Strensham, then I have no idea what happened to him.

If anyone is able to search the parish records for me, I would be very grateful.

Thanks, but I've looked at death certificates and have been unable to find him (which is making me think he didn't die before she remarried).

I'm after the church's parish burial records.
