Burial mystery in Burnley
« on: Monday 26 September 11 19:19 BST (UK) »
I have two ancestors, man and wife. Robert Redman born 1854, Burnley, and Jane Alice Redman (nee Rothwell) born 1852, Bolton.
They died in 1925 and 1931 respectively in Grey Street, Burnley, according to death certificates. I have searched Burnley cemetery and Lancs online parish records but cannot for the life of me find where they are buried. I would be so grateful if anybody can tell me how I would locate their burial place. Kind Thanks
Rob

There is a private web site for Burnley cemetry.monumental inscriptions, but it states £6.00 a search ,

best of going to the  cemetry office or records office

or even phoning the council office and ask  them to check if they are buried there,

Dislike the use of P Messaging system, unless its of a sensitive nature, Rootschat is  an open forum,

Hi,

Is there a chance they could have been cremated  :-\
Give the Crematorium a call as you have the death certs, you have the actual date of death, narrowing it down for them to check?
It could then eliminate this to definite burials?


Do you know that they were actually buried?

If so, maybe one of the local churches has an open Graveyard, still in use for burials?

Good Luck!!!

A check in the Burnley newspaper for their death announcements may help.

Thanks for all your help. I just assumed that they were buried. I've had the Burnley MI list costing six pounds and they are not on there, I've also had the office at Burnley cemetery confirm that they are not there either. Perhaps I should look at cremation as an option. If they were cremated it won't really help my search as I'm trying to find out who Jane Alice's parents were, so was hoping for a burial plot. Thanks again  :)

Do you have Robert and Jane's mariage certificate? If yes who is her father?

I can find Robert and Jane in 1901 in Burnley but not in earlier census or a marriage BUT I did find this census entry in 1891
10 Layfield St Burnely
Robert ROBERTS H M 37 slater
Jane wife
Lilly 18 card room hand
Theresa 16 bn Bolton
Annie 14
John 22
Elizabeth 9
Robert 6
Alfred 4
Ethel 3
Flora 1
Nellie 5 mths
everyone bar Theresa born Burnley

Ethel and Nellie's births show on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk with mother's maiden name of ROTHWELL

Gibel


To add to the above Robert Redman slater is at 10 Layfield Street in 1901 with wife Jane children John 22 Elizabeth 16 Alfred 14 Ethel 13 and Nellie 11

Apparently the same family but REDMAN in 1901 and ROBERTS in 1891 and 1881 where they are at 29 Gregson Field with Lilly 8, Theresa 4, Annie 4 and John 2.

Most odd!

Your Robert appears to be the son of a John and Elizabeth Redman according to the 1871 census. There he and his parents are shon as born in Cliviger so it might be worth looking there for a burial. Hi father John is a slater and Robert is a slater's apprentice so that seems right.
