Check for Plot at Douglas Borough Cemetery

[nickiejo]

There is an entry on www.imuseum.im for:
Edward Brittain Winter
Age 35
Buried 24 Aug 1900
Burial place: Onchan
Biography:35 years Douglas Borough

Not sure whether that last line means he is buried in Douglas Borough Cemetery.  If so, I would really appreciate knowing whether he has a headstone, or at least a plot number.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

That entry infers that he was buried in Onchan?

But burial entry is in the Douglas Borough Cemetery burial lists.

I am busy with the Manx National Rally tomorrow, and then will have to wait until Wednesday when the Manx Museum Library next opens.
But I can then check the MI books.

Many thanks. I got confused with which index I had been looking at. It was Ancestry's Isle of Man burial index which confusingly had Onchan against "burial place".
It is kind to offer to check the MI books.

it's the stupidity of the Manx Museum in merely repeating the misinterpretations of the mormons - Douglas Borough Cemetery is within Douglas but is on the boundary with Onchan in which parochial parish it is.
All plots in the Cemetery have a plot number but not all have headstones - if they have a headstone the wording will be found in the Memorial Inscriptions transcribed by IoMFam Hist Soc + purchasable from them

Plot number is B 175.

I'll check for a headstone later. It's been a very busy week!

EDIT:
No gravestone, according to the MI transcripts.

Many thanks for checking. The plot number is really good to have.

I have just come across this post having spent hours on our visit to the Isle of Man combing the graveyard at St Peter's Onchan for the grave of my husband's maternal grandparents!  Frederick John McCarthy died at Noble Hospital in Douglas in 1944 but the Ancestry transcript said he was buried in Onchan.  Thank you both for having asked the question and given the answer that the cemetery concerned would be at Douglas!
Unfortunately, we only have a day left on the island, so are unlikely to be able to track down the grave in the time available.
But at least I now know where to look!!

Good luck with your search Jayne. I have yet to make it to the Isle of Man, but it's on my list!

The Library at the Manx Museum has details of all cemeteries, MI's and plots.
It's what I used to answer nickiejo's query.
