trying to find a grave without success
« on: Wednesday 26 April 06 18:23 BST (UK) »

 Ive spent the last 3 days going round in circles trying to find the grave of my grt grandmother,
she was born at crumps brook,cleobury mortimer 1879, married at ludlow in 1912 then her dead was registerd in kidderminster jan-mar quarter 1915

i have rung the kidderminster cemetary, they have no record for her there,

rung shropshire archives twice, first time i was told they could do a 10 min check but my best bet was to go and veiw records, the 2nd time i rang i was told their burial records only went up to 1912.

i then rang shrewsbury council they couldnt help

i rang 2 different departments at ludlow council their records start from 1914 but they didnt have hers
i then rang ludlow parish and was told if she wasnt a resident then she wouldnt have been buried there

the only place i havent tried is st marys church itself in cleobury, i dont know of any other cemetary other than where my grt grandad and his 2nd wife and my nan are buried and thats at melville chapel nr crumps brook, cleobury and she isnt there as far as i know as i have looked at all the inscriptions on the headstones.

can anyone else suggest where else i could look plz

no one inthe family know where she is buried as my nan and her siblings were only very young when their mum died.

Hi,
If you are still looking for details, if you could let me have the name of the person you are looking for I can look through the church records in Kidderminster library.

My GTgradfather.s headstone had been removed, but the church should have the records. Sugest you check church records or the local Records Office

Yes, even if the stone is removed, the records will still remain.
Kidderminster registration means she died it that area. But she may not neccesarily be buried in Worcestershire. It's highly probable that if  she was poor she would have been taken back to her own parish. This is just a hunch -Remember the area between Kidderminster and Ludlow also covers Cleobury Mortimer, and Clee Hill area etc
Hope that helps
best wishes,
