Elsing St. Mary Churchyard Norfolk

By any chance would anybody happen to know anything about this old gentleman or his funeral or where exactly he is buried ?? I'd appreciate any help .... he apparently moved around quite a bit !  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

James Olley, 'Old Balaklava',  1832-1920

Quote
James Olley lived at Balaclava Cottage here in Mill Street (now known as Riverview Cottage) where he died. His body was taken by gun carriage from his home to Elsing churchyard where he is apparently buried; unfortunately the exact burial spot cannot be found

I just found this .... apparently he was buried in an unmarked grave !  Undecided but if he was buried with military honours .... I wonder if there was a newspaper report ??

Quote
In the Parish Registers for ELSING, Norfolk, is a burial entry for 8 September 1920 for a JAMES OLLEY aged 88. An additional note states that he "Fought in the famous Charge of the Light Brigade in the Russian War. Buried with Military Honours."

Have you tried the Olley family site?

This should take you to the bulletin board, http://www.olley.org/discus/

There is at least one person on there who descends from Norfolk Olleys, Nick Olley, if you click on his name you get his email address.  You never know your luck! unless of course you've already tried  Grin
