MARTINA ROSS, DIED 29/10/1880
I am looking to find more information about a grave in the Anglican Graveyard Thorndon Park, I have what is “Essex Memorial Inscriptions Transcription “, there is no memorial inscription but it leads me to a CD volume S E Essex Vol 1 reference 16, Can anyone tell me where this might be held, ?
The young person concerned died in Ingrave, unfortunately no more information, she was born in London 1864, 1871 she was in a Catholic school in St Pancras, St Aloysius, Clarendon Sq, ,
REF RG10/221 FOLIO 110 PAGE 4,
with her sister, and now her death, aged 16 in Ingrave, I have no idea why she was in this area unless she was at a Catholic boarding school in Ingrave , I have no idea where these records are kept if at all,
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you

Ingrave is not far from Brentwood, where there is currently a large Girls Convent school called the Ursuline, on the surface it doesn’t appear old enough.
If you google Herongate & Ingrave there is a brief history of the area which mentions a local Catholic school.
This area falls under the diocese of Brentwood.

Hi Louisa ,the school mentioned above was not opened at the time of Martina's death as the poster suspected.
I am looking into this St Joseph's Convent & School in Ingrave at the moment but there doesn't seem to be much info out there

Hi
The following link:
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/essex/vol8/pp90-109
Leads to some information about St Helens RC on Ingrave Road which later had a school attached to.
