Thomas And Mary Johnson
« on: Friday 04 September 15 15:09 BST (UK) »
Looking to travel to Wrockwardine Woods on the 17th to locate Thomas and Mary Johnson's graves.
Thomas born 1813 approx Mary born 1811 approx.Thomas married Mary Elkes on the 18/11/1833
Census 1861 shows them with family members.Census 1871 shows high probability they had both died.Both were Anglicans and i pretty sure Thomas died in Wrockwardine Woods in 1866.Could anybody guide me to possible grave locations please

Remember a burial does not equal a headstone.  What occupations did they have - were they well off?

So, even if they are buried there (and it would be wise to check Parish registers first?) you may not find anything to see.

Hopefully you will, but just warning you!

No not well off but other family members graves have headstones.I think this would have been important to them hence some optimism in locating them.
