Title: Coningsby Baptist MI's ....
Post by: cavair on Sunday 10 June 18 08:45 BST (UK)
Please could someone tell me if Coningsby Baptist MI's have been recorded in the past?

I thought id seen it mentioned in LFHS publication lists but cannot find it.
I am currently transcribing registers and graveyard plans which are still with the chapel (im a member of both chapel & LFHS) before encouraging them to deposit with Archives.

Any help with previous recording of churchyard gratefully received, especially as we have a funeral on Friday 15th and trying to clarify some blank plots as well as make a comprehensible index and plan!
Many thanks.
Richard

According to the National Index of Parish Registers there are transcripts of the MIs for 1790-1991 at Lincoln Reference Library and Lincolnshire Archives. However, this NIPR volume was published in 1995, so this might not still be the case.

The same transcript is apparently also at the Society of Genealogists in London, whose catalogue describes it as "Lincolnshire monumental inscriptions, vol. 43 [Typescript]" published by Lincolnshire FHS in 1993. So it's possible the society might have a copy at their research centre, even if they no longer have it for sale.

Find My Past has a record set for Lincolnshire Monumental Inscriptions. There are 1,740 results for the parish of Coningsby, the oldest that could be read was dated 1709, until 2013.

I don't know Coningsby well enough to know if this was the church yard, or if it includes a separate cemetery or/and a separate burial ground for the baptist church.
