Title: Catherine/Kitty KING of Bath
Post by: kingdav on Sunday 07 December 14 16:30 GMT (UK)

My great-great aunt was born in Eynesbury, Hunts in about 1814, never married and ran a rooming house in Bath from at least 1861 until her death.

Found her on the 1861 & 1871 censuses.

She died 2 August, 1871 at 2 St. James' Square, Bath and left a will.

Would appreciate any info:

   Where is she buried?  -- She is not listed in the Somerset Online Burials Index
   A death notice or obit?

Thanks.

Apparently there is a Bath burial index  :-\

Thanks.

Yes, I did see this, but, to my reading, it is only available at the Bath Records Office.   Rather a long swim from Canada.

I would suggest trying the 'contact us' on the web page and telling them you are in Canada, they may be able to help you.  It may also help us if you update your profile with this information then we won't suggest you visit places in the UK  (I see you have it at the end of your post) .  ;D

So I would suggest Lansdown Cemetery?
