London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Burial of Charles Pugh in 1788
« on: Monday 05 May 08 02:47 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping for a miracle!
I am desperately wanting the burial of Charles Pugh, the printer of the Hereford Journal.
Although it is impossible to believe, there was no obituary for him in his own newspaper - even though his sister Margaret Pugh inherited the newspaper upon his death.
The Gloucester Journal dated 2nd June 1788 recorded his death:
"Thursday morning died in London, after a few days illness, Mr. Charles Pugh, Printer of the Hereford Journal".
His spinster sister Margaret Pugh proved his Will in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 12th June 1788.
Charles Pugh was not buried at Hereford - although he had lived at Hereford for 30 years or more.
Charles Pugh was not buried at his home village of Aberedw, Radnorshire.
I suppose that he was buried in London - but where?
If by some miracle, someone happens to know where Charles Pugh was buried in 1788, I'd be so grateful if they would tell me.
Here's hoping for a miracle.
