Stoke Canon burials/cremations ?
« on: Monday 05 February 18 20:33 GMT (UK) »
Hello , I can't seem to find any reference to the graves of a great great aunt and uncle who lived in Stoke Canon , one dying in 1932 , the other in 1953 .I don't think Stoke Canon has a graveyard nor Huxham so I wondered if maybe they were cremated? Is there a cremation record I can search please ?
Regards
Alan

There is a churchyard and some of the headstones have been photographed https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2488855/st-mary-magdalene

Well their graves haven't been photographed. Of course they may not have had a headstone. Try contacting the OPC for Stoke Canon to see if he has their burial record http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV/StokeCanon - scroll down to genealogy for the link. Alternatively, write to the Churchwarden to see if records are held.
