Title: Looking for the burial of Benjamin MEE 1864 Soar on Barrow
Post by: Westy11 on Sunday 22 April 18 10:09 BST (UK)

Benjamin MEE's death was registered in the 2nd quarter 1864 at Barrow on Soar but I am unable to locate his burial.

Any ideas??

Hi, Barrow is a village, but is does have its own burial ground, assuming that he was not buried in the local church graveyard.  It is also possible that he maybe buried at Loughborough Cemetery.

You would need to ring Charnwood Borough Council about both Barrow and Loughborough Cemetery burials, they should have the records.

Barrow on soar is the registration district so he could have been buried in one of a number of villages in that area. Do you know where he was in 1861 census?
