Searching for a grave/burial place location record.

[IsobelB]

I've been searching for the grave/burial place record for my ancestor Critchley Almond who was born in Blackburn on the 23rd of August 1853 and died on the 14th November 1915 in the Blackburn Royal Infirmary.
Unfortunately I havent had any success finding out any information as to where he was actually buried after searching the well known births, marriages & deaths web sites, although my assumption is that he was buried somewhere in or around the Blackburn area.
Any guidance as to where I could possibly find out this burial information would be much appreciated.

An article in Burnley News says that his address had been 2 Grimshaw Well, Padiham and that he died on 14 November 1915.

Why not try Deceased Online (£) B/M/D websites don't show burials

'deceased on line' actually includes Blackburn cemeteries - and I have a subscription.

Just checked and he is not buried in either of the 2 cemeteries there I'm afraid (unless there is a transcription error with his name).

Many Lancashire burials are on Ancestry and on Lancs On Line Parish Clerks site - but he isn't included in either of those data sets either!

Was he married - if so maybe he was buried with his wife, or vice versa - might be worth checking if we can find her burial.

This was his registered home address before he became ill, I think the death record was put in the local newspaper to announce the death of Critchley in connection his will etc.
I know that he had a brother John James Almond who lived on Ivy Street in Blackburn which was very close to Blackburn Royal Infirmary, my thoughts are that he could have become ill whilst visiting his brother, admitted to the hospital & died there.
As far as I am aware he was never married.

There is a thread here https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=808234.msg6675496#msg6675496 about Critchley Almond.

In reply #7 it says that he is buried at the churchyard of Immanuel Church Oswaldtwistle, which is where he was living at the time of the 1911 census.

Since the above was posted we have now found out that Critchley Almond isn't recorded as being buried in the Immanuel Church churchyard as above.

FindMyPast has a badly transcribed newspaper article on him, the transcription states 14th November 1918 yet the result gives 14th November 1915.

A search said that Lancashire Archives burials are available up to 1991 at FindMyPast but it did not report any burials for me.

LanOPC has 0 returns for burials.

There is also the possibility that he was cremated.

You could contact or if possible visit Lancashire Archives in Preston.
