Hi, I am trying to find out where my relatives may be buried. They lived on Newgate Street, Worksop and died in 1865. I have tried without any success to find which cemetery was open and being used at that time. The obvious one would be Retford/Manton Road but I believe that didnt open until 1901. Any information would be very welcome.
Thanks
Karen

Welcome to RootsChat :) Have you tried the local churches in Worksop? Plus there was, according to Genuki, a new cemetery opened in 1866 next to the church
-
I’d suggest Worksop Priory. My ancestors were buried there prior to your date but I think burials were still happening there much after that.

Thanks for your replies. Im not local to Worksop and dont know the area at all. I thought i would be able to "Google" a list of burial places in that area and the dates that the places were active but ive not been able to find anything.
I will take a look at Genuki to see what I can find.
Thanks

Welcome to Rootschat. There are 215 burials listed at St Mary (Priory ) in 1865. If you would like to give me names I can check them for you.
You say relatives....for instance
There are 4 Shaw children all buried in December.
There are 2 Peck children buried in November.

Thanks Larkspur for your offer.
I am looking for JOHN DRURY born 1803 Worksop died 1865 Apr/May/Jun age 62 and his wife ELIZABETH DRURY born 1803 Worksop died just before her husband 1865 Apr/May/Jun also age 62.
I have found different spellings = Drury/Druery/Drewry/Drewery
Also other names from Worksop are Adkin/Atkin, Lister and Sprowell/Sprawell
If you can find anything for me that would be brilliant.
Thanks
Karen

No, I was just giving an example of multiple burials for surnames in 1865.

"Bingo"
Ive finally found the resting place for my 3rd Great Grandparents. I knew their death date but not where they were buried.
All the Sprowells you listed are also from my tree. Fanny Sprowell is my 3rd Gr Grandmother.
Would it be at all possible for you to send me the list of Drury's buried there ? If this not too time consuming.
Also would you know if there are any Headstones there for me to see. If so I would definitely make a journey.
Thanks for your help and info.

Sorry I cannot tell you if there are any gravestones.
I already sent you the Drury and A*ken burials through the private message system.
-
Im very sorry Larkspur I missed your private messages. I do apologise.
Once again loads of these are on my tree. Thanks so much for your help. As there are so many of my relatives buried in the Priory I will definitely travel and have a day there, even if I dont find any headstones it looks like a beautiful building to visit.
Once again, thanks

I don’t want to hijack this thread but from your records, can you tell who is buried with who, or if burials are nearby each other?!

I have the burial list only, it does not state if there are multiple burials in the same grave. Have you tried Deceased Online. https://www.deceasedonline.com/servlet/GSDOSearch
It is a pay for search. Very interesting though.
