Turvey Cemetery
« on: Sunday 23 August 15 16:12 BST (UK) »
I was wondering would anyone know how I could confirm whether or not two of my ancestors were buried in Turvey Cemetery [I understand the churchyard was essentially closed in [1871].

Thomas WOODING died in Turvey on 18 Sep 1873; and his wife
Sarah WOODING died on 8 May 1888.

Any help much appreciated

Seems Thomas Wooding was buried in cemetary on 21/9/1873 as per newspaper report...

From Beds Times of 30 Sept 1873

Turvey -Oddfellows M U - The members of local lodge attended the funeral of one of their number, Thomas Wooding, on the 21st September at the Cemetary. Mr G Gunton, Bedford officiated and the usual address was read by Mr F Diemer, Prov G M, Bedford, & upwards of 400 persons being present.   


Also cannot find death index for wife Sarah in June quarter 1888, did she not died in Bedford RD?

Thanks all for your suggestions and information.

I wrote to Bedford archives and they already came back to confirm that he was indeed buried in the cemetery but that there was no record for the wife, Sarah. She died while living with her daughter over in Eye, Hereford, so I guess that's the next logical place to check.
