Burials - Wright - All Hallows' Tottenham
« Reply #10 on: Tuesday 06 June 17 10:44 BST (UK) »
I've moved this to a new topic - since I placed it wrongly - sorry.
==================================

I am also seeking information re two burials in All Hallows, Tottenham.

One is for Catherine Wright, buried June 1830 and, I believe, with a memorial or tombstone in the churchyard.

The second is her husband William Wright, buried 30 Jul 1839.

They had lived at Tottenham Park (mansion house) from 1815 - death.  The house was demolished after 1896 and the land became part of Tottenham Cemetery, according to my research.

I can't find anything re these deaths to show where they were buried - same grave?  Where in the churchyard?

Added:  Just found FreeReg giving for William

"Ref A031: bd Jul 30 1839 aged 97yrs PR. Headstone facing east (listed 1979/names identified/burial located & mapped)"  - he was actually 87 when he died (transcription error I guess)

and for Catherine (1830)

"Facing yard "old tombstones.....laid to form a path from the irongate entrance to the church yard up to the lobby of the little south-door entrance into the church" [1840 William Robinson*]."  But she'd only been dead 10 years - little early to lift tombstones?

Does anyone have any suggestions?
