Help finding burial

[rw007a6097]

 Hi, can  you look up burials? I am completely new  to rootschat, I am trying to find where my great aunt is burried and her niece, my great aunt is Amelia Wilson who died at "Capilano" Goring Heath Goring Oxon on Oct 3rd 1950 and her niece was Sadie Agnes Lait who died on 3/4 November 1963 at the same place.

This may help, it may not.

I have found that an extremely polite email to the local council cemetary department, of whichever area you are searching, can bring up very helpful results.  I've found several burials this way across the country. You will get plot numbers, who is buried with them, and the owner of the grave plot.

Google for the local gov offices, then search for the cemetary dept, and ask them if they can help.  Give as much info as you can. If you can't find the cemetary dept, email the main offices and it will be redirected.

Some counties have cemetary and burial offices who cater for this, and can even provide maps.  Wiltshire is such a county. I've never had to contact Oxon, so I don't know what response you'll get. But worth a try.

If they are not buried at Goring church try
Streatley,
Wallingford
or Didcot

Streatley is directly across the river from Goring.
Didcot and Wallingford have municipal cemeteries that were in use then.

Hi.   Some other churches you could search near goring heath:
St Leonards Woodcote
St Marys Mapledurham
St James the less Pangbourne
Old St Marys Whitchurch

 Goring Heath became a parish in its own right after being separated from Whitchurch in 1952 .. The poultry farm remained derelict for a number of years and the site is now occupied by some large and very expensive houses.
 Hope this helps.   Regards Adie.
