Please can anyone advise?

Hi

Chel;tenham cemetery opened in 1864 so prior to that date burials would be in Cheltenham churchyards


http://www.cheltenham.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=467
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/Cheltenham/index.html

St Mary's the parish church
and C19th onwards
St Peter's
St James
Christchurch

and any non-conformist churches which had their own burial grounds


Longney is about 15 miles from Cheltenham and Elmstone Hardwicke is about 5 miles away.


Regards

Valda
