Hi Lei,

This is from the Wolverhampton indexes site which has many burials transcribed for Wolverhampton:

"Merridale Cemetery opened in June 1850, and from that date the vast majority of burials in Wolverhampton took place there, till the opening of Bushbury Cemetery in 1949 provided an alternative burial ground"

Merridale burials only go up to 1937 online. Bushbury is not transcribed. I'm guessing that as BumbleBee quoted that the Quakers were on the Penn Road that they would have used Merridale for they're burials rather than Bushbury which is about 5 miles away and didn't become a popular burial place til the 60s (its chocka block now though!) There were other burial sites in Wolverhampton however but my money would be on Merridale.

Below is a link to the Bereavment (?) grave search service...worth a try, Im sure I rung them before and they were quite helpful:

Robert Patrick fludder would be my great grandfather his son who was my grandfather passed away Feb this year. My grandad didn't much memory of his dad and always wished he could meet him and go to his grave before time got too late. Sadly time ran out and he never got to see his dad's plot. We have photos of it which is just a small slab on the earth so iv always thought he must have been cremated but I could be wrong. I know Robert had very bad arthritis which killed him in the end.
