Derby Lookup, please - Severne

Trying to find the Derby burial of Henry De Milt SEVERNE who died 1 April 1859 (aged 43) in Torquay, although his family were long time residents of Derby. The assumption is that he was brought back to Derby for internment ... any help much appreciated !

Yes, posted on Devon and Derby boards - not sure if he was brought back to his home in Derby for internment or if he was buried in Devon. Apologies if I was wrong in doing this ...

It is not normally a good idea as it often results in people duplicating information 

Where in Derby are the rest of the family buried

[Silmaril]

Good question! I have only been able to locate burials for a similarly named family SEVERN ( no "E" at the end). These individuals, buried in Elvaston, are definately not the same family ...

The free index on findmypast has a few Severne's if you don't select the county.

Hi,

Have looked in newspapers for funeral report, but can only find death report.

Wonder if you have purchased his Will?  This can be purchased for £2 from County Record Office,
and with a bit of luck may state where he wished to be buried:-
