Hi

He left £7100+.

Don't forget (last resort?) London Necropolis (Brookwood Cemetery)
£15 for the basic search.

There's an Ann Strawbridge regd same year same district.
Could it be his wife? Could they have been buried "together"?

The listing says 'Marylebone' for a grave that I am trying to locate

We still haven't been told the source of this 'listing', which might have a bearing.

Deceased Online has her burial in Hampstead Cemetery on 27 Oct 1888. The only associated document available for purchase is the burial register scan. Often there is a further document with grave details and names of other burials in the plot. Don't know if the absence of this means that she was buried alone, or just that these details aren't available for this plot. I have a distant relative buried in this cemetery and the 'grave details and 24 other burials' document is available for purchase, so I'd be inclined to conclude that Ann Strawbridge is buried alone.

Deceased Online doesn't have anything for George Nelson Strawbridge at any location from 1888 onwards. (For the record, there's a George Edwin buried 1953 and a George Henry buried Jan 1888; nothing for a plain Nelson.)

The GRO death index, Dec 1888, and probate gives his actual address confirming reg district.

Hi

Thanks for the info so far everyone, it's very interesting.

The grave I am looking for is George Nelson Strawbridge (1824 - 1888) born in Bristol.

I have tried to find details by searching the internet, but it seems so complicate.

The internet does not have every burial / cremation record on it.   Was George still with his wife or were they separated.  Who was the informant on his death certificate.

If George & Ann were still together in 1888 I would expect them to be buried in the same place, perhaps he was cremated  :-\

Sorry that last post may have been repeated. I got the info from Ancestry.

Very interesting information, thank you all for going to the trouble of sharing your knowledge.

His wife did die in the same year and I know his history, but I would like to know where he is buried. I will have to study the posts and decide on what to purchase / or where to contact.

He died on 10th October 1888 - she was buried 27 October 1888 so they died very close together
