Hi Daisy
I have checked out your link and will give them a try. Unfortunately the records they hold are not for the closed churchyards and there is a possibility John is in one of these. Only one of the cemeteries they hold records for was open when John died. You never know!

Cheers Carolyn

Hi Al
You were right - Leamington Library are very helpful and very quick!! What a shame there seems to be no obituary in the paper   Will keep on trying...

Cheers

Hi Harrywrag

No I did not have that information. I'm assuming from what you've written this is a London newspaper? How interesting......and brief!!

Cheers

This seems to have got in a muddle.

Brunswick Street - this is where the Leamington Municipal cemetery opened in 1868 - and when it opened a section was set aside for Leamington All Saints church. There were not any burials in this cemetery before 1868


All Saints parish church,  only had a very small graveyard next to the church. When this was full they used a piece of land in leam Terrace and when that was full they used a piece of land in new Street - after which the problem was solved as they got a section in the municipal cemetery in 1868.

So you could check All Saints to see if he was buried there.

As though the gent lived in Milverton, he could have been buried in his own parish church at Milverton or possibly in the parish of St Marks on the Rugby Road - these are two other option to investigate.

The municipal cemetery records are held by the district council
the parish church yard records are held by the record office in warwick.

The Leamington Courier is online at British Library - have you searched the index?

As a solicitor was/is well regarded in local society I am aghast that there is no mention of his funeral in the local rag, possibly the Midland Daily Telegraph centred in Coventry would have been the better option.
Good luck, Al
