Title: JAGGARD burials - Elijah and Betsey
Post by: Heatha on Saturday 28 April 18 22:31 BST (UK)
Although Elijah and Betsey were living in Stetchworth when they died - Elijah in 1916 and Betsey in 1900 - they do not appear in the list of MIs for Stetchworth.

Does anyone know where they were buried ?

Thanks,

Heatha

Just because there is no MI for them doesn't mean that they were not buried at Stetchworth.  Have you checked the church burial records?

Thank you. I have a transcript of the PRs but the burial book for 1886 onwards was stolen. I should have put that in my original message  :-[

Oh, dear - well it was an idea  :'(  Have you tried local newspapers, to see if there is any mention?

I have checked the papers and can only find a Betsy Jaggard (not mine - wrong place, wrong age). No mention of Elijah. He was living in an Almshouse in Stetchworth in 1911 so not sure it there are Almshouse records anywhere. I assume that anyway - his address appears to be Hall Farm but the description says Pensioner in Almshouse, as far as I can decipher it.

Yes, I read the address as Almshouse, and a pensioner.  I would therefore assume that he was being cared for/housed by the parish.
