Brymbo Burial

[erika]

A piece of information if possible please.

Today I found ( I think ) the burial records of my 3x gt grandparents on Findmypast.
All it gives is the name of the place, Brymbo and I'm wondering which church this maybe.
I'm thinking St Marys as the graveyard looks quite big.
If it's not St Mary's, where can I find out the exact cemetery,   they were buried in 1852 and 1864.


These ancestors were from Wrexham.


Many thanks
Erika

Hello Erika

I have checked the burials at Minera St Marys and unfortunately they are not recorded there either.

Hi Erika

I've looked at the records that you found and, although it says Brymbo in the index, the images say Burials in the Parish of Wrexham at the top of the page. Most of the addresses seem to be Wrexham ones as well. It would be worth getting a look up for Wrexham rather than Brymbo.

I've found some other records on FindMyPast classified as Brymbo  that were really Wrexham amongst some of my relatives.

Thank you Heather and brevitas for your replies.

I have a newspaper announcement of Frances's death in which it says she was a member of the Wesleyan Connextion for 32 years. I haven't a clue what that was, but obviously something to do with the church. Would there be a clue there as to where she may have been buried?
When her husband died he left a will, so I would presume there may have been money to have a decent burial and headstone.
They were from Wrexham where he had a business.

Cheers

Hi Erika

I think the Wesleyan Connection was a breakaway group from the Wesleyans.  Googling brings up a lot of US links so not really sure about it. 

If no one has any Wrexham records for the dates that you are interested in, it might be worth contacting the Wrexham Cemetery Registrar. Details given here:

Unfortunately, your dates are too early to use the online search but the address, tel no and e-mail for the Registrar is given at the bottom of the page.
