places of buriels

[jolby]

hia, I would like to visit where some of my ancestors were buried but its not as easy to pin point exact church's, a couple are registered as the district of wellington yet they lived in wiveliscombe. so that would be a good place to start I was wondering how -if anyone knows- I would find out. Im interested in the areas of wiveliscombe, chipstable and Milverton. I have already visited the church at Milverton and chipstable and had a wonder round but  couldn't see anything relevant to me but they are not all readable. If anyone has any advice id be grateful, thank you. jo

a couple are registered as the district of wellington yet they lived in wiveliscombe.

Registration Districts cover a area and not just one place. See http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/wellington2.html
Wiveslicombe is a sub-district of Wellington Registration District.

You also need to realise that not all graves have headstones.  You may need to consult the burial registers for the individual churches.

Perhaps if you were to give us some names and dates, we might be able to help you.

thanks for the replies for instance john Parkman died 1914 reg.wellington. I am a wear that the reg district covers an area which is why I am asking if I can confirm which area/church before I go. My local village have transcribed all bmd on there local history site I was hoping there maybe something similar (I have searched for it ) I didn't know if anyone local would know this about these areas. jo

You may need to purchase John's death certificate in order to pinpoint his exact location. 

Is he the John Parkman, born in Chipstable, married to Charlotte and living in Wiveliscombe?

I think that Charlotte died in 1912, June quarter.

I can't see a burial entry for either on the National Burial Index.

yes that's him. thank you for looking

I will buy the death cert then at least that will give me an idea to the parish

thanks again

You might also like to contact Somerset and Dorset Family History Society, they may be able to help you.

There is also the possibility that they were buried in a local cemetery, or cremated.  Sorry I have no connections in the local area.
