Burial index search
« on: Tuesday 21 September 10 21:56 BST (UK) »
If anyone is able to do a burial index search for Sarah J. Burson or Edwin Henry Burson, it will be appreciated.  Sarah died Jan-Mar 1962, in Shrewsbury, age 91 and Edwin Oct-Nov 1948, age 80 in Shrewsbury.

Thank you!

Hi sarunte43

The Shrewsbury Registration District covered a far larger area than Shewsbury itself. The link below has a list of the 40 odd locations covered. I'm not familiar enough with the area to know how many cemeteries or churchyards there would be. Scroll down to the period 1935 to 1974. The death certificates should have a residential address that may help to narrow down possibilities.
