Lookup Request burial Thelma Eckersall

[Jenflem]

Hi,

Looking for help finding a burial record for Thelma Eckersall, my mother's maternal aunt. She died on the first of January 1925 aged 14 months, at 11 Sydall Street, Hyde. Mother Doris Eckersall, but had married Harry Bradbury by the time the child died.

Have searched records on Ancestry, tried Find a Grave, http://web.tameside.gov.uk/BACAS/, http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html etc all with no luck. Have also tried searching under Bradbury, as the mother married between the child's birth and death. Again, no luck.

Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

Jenny

Not all of the records for Tameside are online yet.

Harry and Doris were married at St George's Church Hyde. Have you checked the burial records there?

The burial records for St George's are available on film in Tameside Local Studies and Archives in Ashton under Lyne.

Are you local to Tameside?

Hi Heather,

Yes I think this is her, thank you so much! I don’t think I have access to Family Search, is that a pay for site?

I assumed she’d be buried at Hyde cemetery rather than a church burial ground but that was their local church, yes. I never thought to check there.

Is there any way to find out a plot or would it just mean wandering round the burial ground and looking for her name? They were very poor so might she be buried without a stone, and/or in a multiple grave? I know they did that in cemeteries but I’m not sure about church burial grounds.

I’m not local to Tameside although my mother was born in Ashton and we do go and visit (or did, pre-covid).

Hi,

The burial place has been found by another member below, but I just wanted to thank you for that information and for taking the time to search. It’s all correct, even though it’s all info I already know, and the church Doris was baptised in was a good shout, I hadn’t thought of that (I just assumed she’d be buried in Hyde Cemetery), but it ended up being St George’s, near where they lived.

Again, thank you

Next time I go to Local Studies, I will try to check the burial record for you.

That’s so kind of you!

Do you know if churchyards did do multiple burials, ie several people in one grave, like cemeteries did for the poor? I’m aware of many ancestors buried in such graves in Philips Park Cemetery.
