Kings Lynn St Margarets Burials
« on: Wednesday 04 November 09 12:59 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

Its a big ask, but can anyone in the area help located my Great great great Grandfathers grave for me. I have the parish record which has Richard (mistranscribed as Robert) Kearsley buried on 15th April 1841 at St Margarets. I have contacted the Church and it would appear that the church yard wasn't used for burials from 1803. From 1803 they where carried out in what was then called "The New Burial Ground", a piece of ground leased from the local authority: the burials nevertheless were entered in St Margaret's Burial register.  That was closed by Order in Council in 1854.  In 1899 the New Burial Ground (sometimes called St James' Burial Ground) was cleared of monuments and was laid out as a park, which it still is today.  Many of the stones were set up in close ranks on a nearby piece of ground and are still there.
So I guess I won't find the grave, but the headstone would be the next best thing. Would anyone help please?

Thanks

Matt

You could try the norfolk family history society to see in they have surveyed the stones, they have quite a collection of MIs
