Hello, Does someone happen to have Burial registers for the above parishes please?
I am looking for two people who do not appear in their Monunmental inscription indexes as I have been told that they lie in unmarked graves, but am assured that they lie in these two churchyards.
One is Walter HENLEY who died 1930 who is buried at Longworth Churchyard and his wife
Sarah Elizabeth HENLEY of Standlake who lies in Kingston Bagpuize Churchyard. Sarah died ca March 1954.
Many thanks for any help. Jill

Sarah's death is confirmed as 1954 - RD Ploughley (Oxfordshire) which does not cover Bagpuize and Longworth

Thanks Carol, I did have that information, I needed to know the full date of burial. That is what I am after. ;-)) Thanks for looking though.

Are you saying that although she died in Oxfordshire - she was buried in Berkshire?
-
Hi Jill,
I only have the transcripts for Longworth and neither Walter or Sarah Henley's names appear in the burials.
My records for Kingston Bag. only go to 1880 so can't help there.

Many thanks Alan and Carol,
>Are you saying that although she died in Oxfordshire - she was buried in Berkshire?
Yes that's correct. She had moved from her home in Kingston Bagpuize, [then in Berkshire] to live in Standlake [Oxfordshire] ca 1920 where a daughter was living close by. Her body was buried in Kingston to lie next to her grandson who had been killed in WW1 and when her son and daughter in law died [parents of the boy who died in War] they were buried next to her. Not too sure why her husband Walter was buried in Longworth, but he was probably living in that area of Southmoor where it seemed customary to be buried there.
Thanks for the help, everyone.

Are the grandsons burial details on www.cwgc.org
-
Yes, thanks they are.

Am I missing something here? If she is buried next to her grandson and you have his grave number from the cwgc site - then her grave number should be one more or less than his. With that information - is it not possible to ask the records office to check the records for those graves and give you her burial date?
-
Thanks Carole, I am in fact doing just that. I am going to contact Vicar but he is away at present.

Hi Jill,
Walter Henley is not recorded in the Berkshire Burial Index, which covers 1930 Longworth - perhaps he too is in KB?
The vicar - or a churchwarden - is the only answer for KB since it seems they are still using a register that was started in the 1910s.

Hi there Phil,
Good point re register age. Will mention this. Thanks for the Burial Index search, grateful.
Pretty odd isn't it this seemingly lack of burial entry, and although it is not essential it has bugged me, so I *must* find out.
Nice to be in contact Phil, hope all is well with you.
Jill
BTW we do have a war grave memorial [ newish ] here Phil. http://www.kbsonline.org.uk/war-memorial-crescent
