St Helen's Garstang burials?
« on: Friday 06 September 19 11:50 BST (UK) »
Hi
I would like more information about a grave in St Helen's, Churchtown, Garstang grave yard.
I believe Thomas Seed age 85 was buried there in 1839, and his wife Ann age 85 in 1842.
Lancs opc have the name on the grave as William Seed, but I'm fairly sure that there has been a mistake, either at time of burial, or in later transcribing of the record.  All details apart from the first name are correct, and there is no William Seed death in registers for this time/place.

Does anyone know where I can find information about the grave or an MI?
(Assuming there is a stone)
Many thanks.

"Lancashire Graveyards and Burial Grounds  -  Locations and whereabouts of transcribed monumental inscriptions"  compiled by W.J. Taylor, published by Lancashire Family history & Heraldry Society, 5th edition -  revised 2000.  List is arranged in alphabetical order by location.  St. Helen, Garstang is under Churchtown (Garstang).  State of recording of inscriptions is complete "between the known dates". Recordings were made by the Womens' Institute.  Location of the record is not stated.
 St. Thomas C. of E., St. Mary & St. Michael R.C., and Independent Chapel are listed under Garstang.
