Dear All:
I have been searching for the grave of a 2xgt grandfather of mine, William Hunt. He wandered about the country a good deal in the course of his employment as a domestic coachman: he was born in Milford/Lymington, Hants; moved to London; married and brought his family back down south to Kingston in Portsmouth before moving to Wiltshire, first to Calne and then to Neston. I believe he may have been employed as coachman at Neston Park when he contracted pneumonia and died in the Royal United Hospital in Bath in February 1876.
I have enquired at Bath NES archives but they can find no record of his burial in the parish of St. James (where the hospital was at that time), so I enquired of the Wiltshire archives and they can find no record of his burial in Corsham/Neston - any suggestions as to where I might search now? The National Burial Index seems a bit patchy in this area and I have found nothing in the on-line non-conformist records (which I tried, just in case).
Any suggestions as to where I might try to find him will be most welcome as I confess myself flummoxed!
Rachel
