Leicester Burial / Cemetery Records?!

[bitzar]

Hi gang

How do I obtain burial / cemetery records for Leicester City c1820-1850's?!  Do such cemeteries still exist?!  I'm looking for the Newey's of Charles Street and John Cox d.1846 Wharf Street, husband of Mary Newey.  I'm thinking if they are all buried together then.... score!

Ta.... bitzar.

There are several Newey's baptised and/or buried at St George's, but unfortunately the transcript I have doesn't include addresses.  From the 1841 census I assume the parents are Thomas & Mary, so here are a few you may be interested in:

Baptisms:
4 May 1831, Samuel Newey, son of Thomas & Mary
21 Aug 1833, John Newey, son of Thomas (Labourer) & Mary
2 Sep 1835, James Newey, son of Thomas (Labourer) & Mary
5 Aug 1840, Elizabeth Newey, daughter of Thomas (Labourer) & Mary

Burials:
12 Apr 1832, Mary Newey, daughter of Thomas & Mary, aged 7
1 July 1832, Samuel Newey, infant son of Thomas & Mary
8 Sep 1835, William Newey, infant son of Thomas & Mary (baptised as James?)
24 Feb 1842, Thomas Newey aged 45

The only John Cox buried in 1846 at St George was the infant son of John & Sarah, although a John Cox aged 49 was buried 15 Nov 1846 at St Mary's .   

The following are all at St George's and I think may be your John & Mary?   

Baptisms:
25 Feb 1829, William Cox, son of John (Bricklayer) & Mary
8 Sep 1830, Edmund Cox, son of John (Bricklayer) & Mary
25 Jul 1832, John Cox, son of John (Brickmaker) & Mary
14 May 1834, Thomas Cox, son of John (Bricklayer) & Mary
4 Mar 1835, Sarah Cox, daughter of John (Dyer) & Mary
2 Mar 1836, Elizabeth Cox, daughter of John (Bricklayer) & Mary
21 Feb 1838, Mary Cox, daughter of John (Bricklayer) & Mary
30 Sep 1840, Ann Cox, daughter of John (Bricklayer) & Mary

Burials:
30 Jun 1837, Thomas Cox, son of John & Mary, aged 3
1 Nov 1841, Mary Cox, daughter of John & Mary, aged 3 years & 9 months
17 Nov 1844, William Cox, son of John & Mary, aged 8
11 Jan 1846, Mary Cox, wife of John, aged 44

Hope this helps

Hi Jomot

Thank you so much for replying.  I did have most of the Newey info you provided but thankyou for confirming that.

The Cox's, I don't know.  My Mary Newey (widow of Thomas Newey who died Feb 1842) married John Cox at the Registry office Leicester in October 1844.  He was a widower and a FWK (frame work knitter).  He possibly died at Wharf St 1846 but there are prob many John Cox's.  On their marriage, Mary was residing in Wharf St.

regards and thanks, bitzar.
