Unlocking my mystery, help pls!

Did a bit of scratching around, if you're looking for Edward Wones final resting place I'd say he would have to be in the Hereford Diocese area, will need some leg work by the looks, phone calls, personal visits for records etc, there's about 29 churches, Church of All Saints at Shelve might be a good start, though according to blurb it was built in 1839 over a Medieval structure, whatever that was, there's another at Stretton not far away, ran out of time on looking at it's history, if you can establish which church they were married at I'd think that's where he's buried

Hi Niki

Just as a bit of collateral info:

National Burial Indx V 2 -
No entries 1538 - 1760
4 entries 1761 - 1825 3 at St Bartholomew, Madden and 1 at All Saints Sedgley, Nr Wolverhampton
No entries 1826 -1860
1 entry 1861 -2003 at Bourne, Lincs

Let me know if you want details of these?
Of course not all cemetries have been 'done' either.

There is a later edition out now but this little bit of info may help?

Morning,
He moved to Sedgley after being married, and the birth of the children.
Based on where he died (Hurst Hill, Sedgley) I emailed the church and had a helpful reply of a lady.

"I should say that registers of that date are irritatingly vague about where individuals lived, and don't record exactly where they were buried. We have three historic burial grounds; Dudley archives also has a copy of transcripts of memorials that survived until about 1980. In 1820, Edward could be in the churchyard, but is most likely to be in Vicar Street cemetery, now maintained as a memorial garden by Dudley MBC. Few memorials there were retained, although listings were made and indexed of names and dates in the MIs. Unless there is or was a memorial, it's impossible to tell exactly where someone was buried, even whether they're in the churchyard or Vicar Street. I don't hold out a great deal of hope that the family could afford a headstone. At Dudley, you should also check what's known as the 'Liber Parochialis' for his widow and family in c.1832 - it's transcribed and indexed. I think it's more precise about dwelling places."

Hi agaain

The Index says ;

Edward Wones aged 60 buried at All Saints, Sedgely on 24 April 1820

Not much but it seems to tie in with your search I hope?
