Hi
Hoping I can get some ideas as to where someone would be buried if they died in Cockermouth in 1865 ( assuming they were Church of England) & are there any online searches so that I can find the grave ??
I am looking for the grave of George SEDGWICK. Death registered Dec Quarter 1865
I have already checked here - http://www.cockermouth.org.uk/graveyards.htm
Thanks
Cathy in Australia

Have you got him in Cockermouth the census before he died? Because from the address you can work out which parish he was in. I'm assuming he did actually live in Cockermouth and not just the registration district. Suggest you look up http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/CUL/Cockermouth/index.html

Hi duckweed
George Sedgwick, in the 1861 census, is living at Jackson's Yard in the Parish of Crosthwaite (Sp?) in the town of Keswick.

... in which case he is most likely to have been buried at Keswick.

In Cumberland, there were several cases of towns being in "village" parishes (and appearing as such in censuses) while having churches of their own - these examples come to mind-
Whitehaven/St Bees
Cockermouth/Brigham
Maryport/Crosscanonby
and Keswick/Crosthwaite
Here's Keswick church (St John's) http://www.visitcumbria.com/kes/chk3.htm
As SEDGWICK was living in a yard off Main Street, Keswick in 1861, it seems likely to me that he would have been buried there.

Thanks for your replies.
Any ideas on how I go about searching for George Sedgwick's Grave - doesn't help that I am in Australia.
George Sedgwick is my husband's great great great grandfather & the last one that I have to find where he was buried. ( I doubt that I will find his parents George & Mary Sedgwick)
Yes duckweed I have seen the website Sedgwick.org. Fred Sedgwick did a great job locating the line.

Hi Cathy
Have you got the death certificate for George? Or even an exact date from other sources?
Cockermouth Registration District would cover Keswick. You've a census in Keswisk.
If he did actually die in Keswisk, by this date, eithter church could apply. I know families who are split between the two. Crosthwaite was the whole area, but the church is still in Keswick, albeit on the edge, and many Keswick folkattended as they still do. St John's is nearer the centre on the other side and is the town church with its own burial ground, but either could apply.
Of course, he could have been taken back to a family plot out of town such as St John's in the Vale or \Threlkeld or wherever they'd lived. Or they could have moved to Cockermouth by the time of his death.
If you have quite a good date, someone might look in the papers for an announcement, but there are quite a few to choose from. Some people used a Penrith or Cumberland paper.
If you're unlucky, it's really a death certificate for these large districts unfortunately.
Last time I was at the record office, we got a lot of information from one of these churches but the other stopped quite early and I'm sorry I can't remember the details.
If you had an exact date, they might checlk both for you.
Someone might check the grave if you could find the number.
I'll see what I can see.
Best wishes
Emms

Hi Cathy
Do let us know how you get on, or if you have any more questions while you're waiting.
I know the cost adds up, but in this case I would, too. Then hopefully we can pin down which church and help you find a grave.
Best wishes from a cold wet England!
Emms
