Lancashire / Elusive burial of Lawrence Cuddy (Liverpool)
« on: Tuesday 20 February 24 16:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I've been trying to locate the burial record of my x3 Great Grandfather for years now without success.
He (Lawrence Cuddy) died on the 25th March 1848, according to his death certificate.
Having married as RC and subsequently baptised his children as RC throughout the 1830's, I have literally searched all available church burial records for RC churches that had graveyards that were performing internments at the time of his death (1848), starting with St. Anthony's (where his children were both baptised and buried (as in those who died in infancy) and working through the rest.
I've also searched the larger cemeteries that were open at this time i.e. Necropolis, St. James, and St. Mary's to no avail..
His wife Elizabeth died in 1873 and is buried in Anfield Cemetery, which opened after Lawrence's death.
Is it likely that someone who was evidently a practicing Roman Catholic may have simply been buried in a Church of England graveyard, as I'll search through those which are available too if it's a possibility?
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!
Pablo
