Hannah Minton

I'm looking for the grave of my paternal grandmother Hannah Minton. She died aged 32yrs in 1918 at Coundmoor but I have no idea where she is buried. Which churchyard would be the closest, I wonder. I suspect she wouldn't have a headstone which will make it more difficult.

She may have been buried in Cound. Try the burial register, held at Shropshire Archives. Transcripts of many Shropshire graves are also at the archives next to the directory shelves.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try.

Thanks for that, it sounds a nice little place, I'll try and visit this summer.

Hi There,

I will be going into town tomorow and if I get time I will look into your Hannah in the archives for you, As you may well know Coundmoor is a tiny place, most people think its the same place as Cound, its not, its about a mile away,


See what I can find

You're very kind, thanks, that'd be great.

It was over three years ago i enquired about my grandmothers burial place and i still havent found it. Apparantly, shropshire archives havent got burial records for Cound after 1899 and they haven't got any for Acton Burnell. I think these are the most likely places she would be but now don't know where I'd find this information.  Any thoughts or observations would be appreciated.

A quick google suggests the nearest municipal cemetery is Market Drayton. If the churchyards were full (as many were by 1918, and the fact that the records cease at 1899 suggests this) then burials would be in a cemetery.
