Usually three names recorded and different each time - I haven't come across it before. I think they must be witnesesses / godparents as one of the names appears on both baptisms from the same family that are three years apart which suggests there must be a connection.

Hi - I'm in the same situation as the original poster. I have a record of a burial in the St Margaret, Plumstead burial records on Ancestry. I understand from the posts above that there wasn't a burial ground at St Margaret's and that burials were either at St Nicholas' church or Woolwich Cemetery.

Deceased online states that it has all records for Woolwich cemetery from when it opened in 1856 until 2020. I have searched for my relative and they are not listed in Woolwich cemetery.

I am assuming therefore that the burial was likely to have taken place at St Nicholas. Can anyone add any information to that already contained in this thread that could help to confirm this assumption? Also be grateful if anyone can confirm that graves have now been cleared and most are  in St Nicholas gardens in front of the church?

Many thanks for any assistance.

Thanks Sandy - that would be great I’ll pm you my email address.

Thank you so much JenB - I could make most of the letters of "eight day clock" out but because I had never heard of such an item I couldn't put two and two together. I'm off to google eight day clock now! 

This is my first attempt at transcribing a will and after spending a long time on it I think I have managed to decipher most of it. There are a few words which I just can't make out. I would be grateful for any advice on how accurate my transcription is and any advice on the remaining words.
Many Thanks
