The Common Room / Looking for a burial Surrey / Hampshire
« on: Tuesday 06 March 12 19:28 GMT (UK) »
Hi, can any Rootschatters out there help me please? My Great Grandfather died on 6th January 1904 in Grayswood in the district of Haslemere, Surrey. He was born in 1872 under the name of Richard Henry Cowthard. He then left the family and 'married' Elizabeth Matthews, daughter of Chorley (Charles) Matthews & Phoebe Matthews nee Deakins. I assume that he did not want his family to find him as he changed his surname to Smith and his death certificate was registered under the name of Smith.
If anybody could find out where he is buried that would be brilliant as I have been looking for over a year now and have not come up with anything - I assume that as he died quite near to Hampshire he could be buried in a Hampshire church.
Any ideas to further my search or any help would be great. Many thanks.
