Devonshire Resources & Offers / Littleham Exmouth Bishops Transcripts

Littleham Exmouth Bishops Transcripts
The parish registers of St Margaret & St Andrew, Littleham, Exmouth have a large gap in continuity for the following years;
Baptisms 1706-1743 Marriages 1706-1743 Burials 1678-1743
In an attempt to restore what can be from this loss, I have recently compiled an index of all the surviving Bishops Transcripts from 1699-1743. The index is available now on Genuki on the Littleham, Exmouth page under “Church Records”. It is also available on FreeReg & in the members area of the Devon Family History Society in the articles section.

Hi Ciderdrinker, thanks for your post.
I have now managed to locate the post 1880 burial register for Toller Fratrum & Wynford Eagle.
It is in the possession of the organisation that cares for the now closed St Basil's at Toller Fratrum.
I haven't seen the register but they did a look up for me & unfortunately Angelina was not recorded
as buried there. Since then I've checked on Dorset OPC & Ancestry every available parish within a 5 mile radius of Wynford Eagle & still not found her.
Current thought is that she was buried at Wynford Eagle but that the burial was not entered in the register of the two parishes, or less likely, that she was buried in a non conformist burial ground of which I haven't found any nearby.

Thanks Little Nell. I have since contacted the Dorset Heritage Centre in the vain hope that they might have the Bishops Transcripts for 1881 but they have them only to 1846, so no help there.
The archivist I spoke to made the same suggestion as you, but as I understand it Wynford Eagle was a Chapelry of Toller Fratrum & both are now closed churches,
I have not yet found any Church ministry or redundant church organisation that has responsibility for the two churches so am at a loss where to look next. So any suggestions would be heartily welcome.
However on the Dorset OPC for these parishes both have lists of monumental inscriptions with dates of death up to the 1950s. Therefore the conclusion must be that there was a burial register post 1880 but where that register is now remains unsolved at present.
As I live in South Devon a visit to Dorset is impractical until I have a lead.

Thanks Little Nell. No headstone photo though (very unlikely as she was the wife of an Ag Lab).
Contributor not taking messages on findagrave so no help there. Seems to me that they knew she was in Wynford Eagle on the 1881 census & assumed that she is buried there, could be right though? I'm still holding out for proof positive.

Dorset / Burials for 1881 Wynford Eagle or Toller Fratrum
« on: Thursday 27 July 23 21:23 BST (UK) »
I am searching for the burial place of Angelina Francis who died at Wynford Eagle 21st August 1881.
I can find no trace of burial registers for either parish after 1880 in the Dorset Heritage Centre catalogue or online. Does anyone know if the burials registers or bishops transcripts of burials
for either parish survive.
