Sussex / Thomas Maple burial location
« on: Monday 27 November 23 19:37 GMT (UK)  »
I am struggling to find the final resting place of Thomas Maple who died on the 19th June 1855 in Worthing. He either lived at Anchor Inn, High Street, Worthing or maybe just died there? I have the burial record which shows he was buried in the parish of Broadwater on the 20th June 1855. He is not in Broadwater cemetery as they did not have burials until 1863. The church historian for St Mary's Broadwater has looked into it for me and says that there are no records at the three churchyards for him. He must be in one of them, although I am aware that the records were only as good as the resident vicar and how good he was at recording things. Find a grave does not seem to ever come up with anything for me, tried them too.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

The Common Room / FVT2 on a workhouse record - what does it mean?
« on: Wednesday 08 March 23 18:55 GMT (UK)  »
Today I viewed the Workhouse Records from 1899, my ancestor had FVT2 at the end of the column where the next of kin is noted. I wondered what does it mean. Other records had just FVT by theirs.
Thank you

Flintshire / Grave location of John Griffiths - Greenfield.
« on: Tuesday 21 February 23 19:13 GMT (UK)  »
Following on from the findings of the death of my gt gt grandfather, (Thank you Rootschat  :)) ) I am now trying to locate his final resting place.

His name was John Griffiths, married to Elizabeth nee Roberts
He lived in Victoria Cottages (newspaper reporting on death)/ 3 Victoria Place (1891 census) Greenfield, Hoywell.
He died on 1st July 1895 at the Bettisfield Colliery and was buried on the 4th July.
The burial record just shows Holywell in the county of Flint and the vicar was A Williams.

I have tried Find a Grave in the three cemeteries in that local area where I can only guess he would have been buried, but with no luck. I am feeling, as he died at 45 (burial record says age 47, this is incorrect) and had 9 children that there will be no headstone.

Any help would be much appreciated as I am visiting in July and would dearly like to visit his resting place.

Thank you

Flintshire / John Griffiths death date help please
« on: Sunday 22 January 23 22:25 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to pin down the date of death of John Griffiths who was a coal miner. He was born on 26th April, 1850 and was married to Elizabeth Roberts. They had nine children, Thomas, William, Margaret, Elizabeth, Mary, Edward, Jane, John and George in that order. They lived in Victoria Place, Greenfield in 1891. By 1901 his wife is recorded as a widow. I have tried 'Find a grave' and looked at the cemeteries near to Greenfield, but am struggling to find anything. His name and the number of people with it does not help either. If anyone can help I would appreciate it very much.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Trying to find a grave location
« on: Wednesday 17 August 22 19:49 BST (UK)  »
Evening all, today I had the gravestone cleaned of my gt gt grandparents. I believed they were both in this grave but now that I can read the stone they clearly are not!
I am trying to find out where Moses Maple who died in July 1856, aged 38 was buried. The burial took place on 31st July 1856 in Wiston. The problem I have, is was it St Mary, Wiston on the Wiston Park Estate or All Saints Buncton where his wife is buried, she died 28 years later. The only good clue I have is the curate was R Payne. Various 'Find a grave' sites are returning zero results.
Thank you for your help and advice

Denbighshire / J.W Griffiths did he live at 5 Grove Road, Colwyn Bay in 1939?
« on: Tuesday 15 March 22 21:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I wonder if anyone can help. I recently purchased my grandfathers death certificate. I was surprised to see J.W. Griffiths (Cousin) of 5 Grove Road, Colwyn Bay, present at death. I have put immense work into trying to find out who this person is without success. I was hoping to look at a 1939 electoral roll for that property, but need to do it by property and not person. I have scrolled through many many Griffiths on the electoral roll but not found one at this address.

I have researched all my grandfather's uncles, male children but having no leads so far.

The Common Room / Historic Wills
« on: Tuesday 01 March 22 19:31 GMT (UK)  »
Has anyone tried to get a historic Will? I would be interested to know what you all think. I was thinking of getting my grandfathers Will (if he had one of course) He died in 1937 and he did have his own business. He was 47 at the time of death. I have the probate record which I got from Ancestry. Has anyone else done this?

Surrey / Find a Grave Benhilton Area of Sutton
« on: Tuesday 22 February 22 23:24 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find the grave of Emma Harriet Keeley who died on 3rd April 1901, aged 32. She was living at 242a High Street, Benhilton, Sutton at the time of death. Her death entry says she was buried on 9th April 1901. I have been in touch with the vicar at All Saints, Benhilton and there are no records. He suggests the parish of All Saints which could be Sutton Cemetery. I have used 'Find a Grave' with no results. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated 😊

The Common Room / Cyril Finch Keeley, West Sussex - need help please.
« on: Monday 09 November 20 22:27 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching this gentleman and I know his father was John Robert Keeley (1869 Earlsfield, Surrey-1953 Edgeware, London) and his mother Emma Harriet Arlidge (1868 Stalisfield, London - 1901 Sutton, Surrey) Cyril was also born in Earlsfield, Surrey on 29 July 1894. He married Edith A M Winchester in Battle, Sussex in 1936. I see that he was a Merchant Seaman on 1911 census and was living in Worthing, West Sussex. I cannot find any more on this man. With a name distinct like Cyril Finch Keeley I did not expect too much of a problem. I cannot even find a death for him or any children. Unusual for me to be so stumped. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
