holy trinity exeter

[alan w jones]

Hello , I wonder if someone could tell me please when the last burials/internments took place at Holy Trinity Cemetery Exeter . I thought I had read somewhere it was 1903 but have seen a page on FindMyPast giving "internments " in 1917.
Any advice much appreciated , thank you .

This is usually my first port of call:
http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Exeter/HolyTrinity/index.html

Which lead me to:
http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/parishbooks.htm

But the section under burials is blank.  Some further delving on this site might give you the answer you require.

This mentions burials recorded on Deceased Online up to 1903:
http://www.devon.gov.uk/text/cemetery_registers
But does not say that is when internments ceased.

Devon Record Office reports that they have burials up to 1960.

Hello , If any kind soul has a minute to spare whilst at DRO , I would really appreciate a look up for a burial at Holy Trinity , Exeter of a William Henry Fisher on 18th August 1917 please .

Alan, I'm not sure if it is the case with the DRO, but some time ago I know of a couple of record offices which would do lookups and email a copy at minimal cost, and some even did lookups for me at no cost.

As you have the date it should be an easy lookup - it might be worth contacting them to ask the question.
