Wool - Parish Church?

[Anna_C]

Hi,

I've just found the burial record of an Yvonne Singleton age 3 weeks in 1949 (spelt incorrectly as Ivonne Singleton) in the dorset parish records on ancestry. It says at the top "burials in parish of Wool with East Burton (sp?), but doesn't give a church name - from what I've been able to figure, there's Coombe Keynes Church and Holy Rood, but I'm a bit confused over which was the parish church in 1949 and which one (if either of them) the burial would have taken place at.

Also, does anyone know of any existing info on burial plots etc for either church so I can attempt to locate the grave site? The child in question was my maternal grandmother's first daughter (named after her own sister who sadly died aged 13 a few years before) and no one in the family really knows a great deal about the situation as she was born and died before my grandmother married my grandfather.

Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated,
Anna x

Holy Rood, Wool became a separate parish in 1844 and is still in existence.

So, it's a good bet she was buried there.

There is a chapel at East Burton, with a small graveyard. It's still a place of worship but no longer C of E.

But Holy Rood in Wool is probably more likely.
