Help in finding a burial in Madistone
« on: Sunday 30 November 14 05:58 GMT (UK) »
Afternoon

Is someone able to help me or guide me to how to find a person that died in Maidstone. The person I'm trying to find is George Bennett who died on the 9th April 1826 in Maidstone. I'm wanting to know if George is the son of my 4xgreatgrandparents Henry & Harriett Bennett. George was born 17 February 1822. This information I have is from Maidstone All Saints burials 1824-1851. Have spent the afternoon searching all burial websites with them sending me around in cycles. Is some kind person able to tell me were I can obtain this information from to enable me to verify I have a connection with this person. I appreciate any help or advise given. Thanks Pamela  :(

Hmmm! That's a difficult one!

The burial record will not contain any family details.
And, because it's before Civil Registration, there will be no Death Certificate.

Per the East Kent Burial Index he was aged 4 and lived in Week Street.

Thanks Shaun. Not sure if Georges family lived there either as in the 1841 census they were living in Windmill Row.

Many thanks KGarrad. Does that mean I have no way of finding out if he is the correct George belonging to this family

You could look for the parish register entry of his baptism?
That will certainly show parent's names ;D

There's a George Bennett Baptised 31/12/1821 Maidstone to Henry & Harriett & another on 17/2/1822 which indicates the other had died by this time.
He looks to be part of this family according to the Baptisms of the other children:

1851

As KG said you need to look at the entry.
