Saxilby St Botolph churchyard

[Leah-WW]

Does anyone know if there is a graves plan or similar for Saxilby St Botolph please, and does anyone by any chance have MIs covering that church? (if not, I know they are at Central Library but can't get there this week, hence why I'm asking here I know that my ancestors were buried there in the early 1800s. I went to the church a couple of weeks ago and had a quick scout around, but then it started thundering and raining, so I had to give up. I think that the oldest graves are in the north east corner of the churchyard (at least that is where Mark Kirkham - short-lived wife and victim of Tom Otter was buried at a similar time, according to the Saxilby history books).

Hello, Saxilby History Group here. We have a record of all the monuments in the graveyard, listing burials from 1760. We also have the parish records on disc which we can search for you.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm specifically looking for additional information on Thomas WARRINER (or Warrener) and his wife, Ann. They were, I know from the PRs, married at Saxilby in 1778 and buried there in 1817 and 1819 respectively. I think that their daughter, also called Ann, was also buried in Saxilby in the same year as her mother (1819). If you have any further details I would be excited to hear about them.

We have looked at the parish records for Warriners or Warreners, there are quite a few aren't there?

We found the two Anns and Thomas Warrener but I'm afraid the list of monumental inscriptions does not include them.  There are only 4 Warreners with surviving headstones, these are a Frederick Warrener died 1895, and a Christiana who  died 1874 daughter to Robert and Ann Warrener who died 1879 and 1891 respectively.  (This is the same list that is in the Lincolnshire archives.)

There is also an inquest in Saxilby on 1st March 1722 into the death of a Richard Warrener on 28th Feb.  He and his horse fell into the Fossdyke Canal and he was drowned.

Sorry we can't help with Ann and Thomas.  Please contact us on www.saxilbyhistory.com if you require any other help.

Yes, we're an enormous (extended) family! Thank-you for looking those details up for me. I'm especially interested in the 1722 reference as I had thought that the family didn't get to the Saxilby area until the 1770s or so!

I am sorry to disappoint you - I should have typed 1772!!   Please accept my apologies.

Aha! Well that makes more sense, and might be easier to slot meaningfully into my research actually, so thank-you for the typo I assume that the inquest record will be in the Lincoln archives?
