Gravestone Lookup = St Mary Virgin, Dover
« on: Wednesday 10 June 09 04:48 UTC (UK) »
Hello

Could I request a lookup for Maria PRESCOTT nee GAMMON who I am told was buried  St Mary Virgin, Dover on 26th Jul 1886. 

I do not know if she has a stone, so any details of her death/buriel would be greatfully received.

Many thanks

Thank you bcrick, this confirms the date that I was told.

Is St. Mary the Virgin the graveyard where she is buried or is this just a parish name?

Anita: There is a graveyard at the church but it is not very large. The church is called St. Mary the Virgin. I visited the church when in England two years ago as many of my rellies were baptized there.
Sorry I can help you further but it may be well worth contacting a gen society in that area to see if someone can do the lookup for you.

Hi
In my dim and distant past I hailed from Dover . St Marys has a small graveyard surrounding the church. Their are two large cemeteries in Dover where most towns folk are buried. You can find details from Kent county council. If you find out which cemetery and the number I should be through to Dover in August sometime and can pop in and take photos. I've got to go and get some pictures  of my relatives graves  from the same place so its no trouble. The only problem is the cemeteries are on a side of a big steep hill and its hard going on the old legs. If some one beats me to it let me know.

Hi panda40

I am now aware that there are two graveyards.  I have also been given two contacts. So if and when I get a reply I will let you know.

Thank you so much for the offer.

Kindest regards

Update - Gravestone Lookup = St Mary Virgin, Dover
« Reply #7 on: Monday 15 June 09 19:12 UTC (UK) »
Hi all

Just thought that an update would be in order.

I contacted someone on the England Kent List that I subscribe to and was given a couple of email contacts.

I contacted Dover Council and today got a reply.

It is confirmed that Maria Elizabeth PRESCOTT is buried at St Mary Virgin, Dover, plot TF5

Regards
