Cemetery/Burial Question

[Kavik]

Hello all,

I am trying to find out what cemetery a particular person was buried in but am having no luck and in contacting various offices, seem to be getting the runaround.......

The individual in question is:

Dorothea Sophia (née Short) Brackenbury

b) 2.DEC.1849 Lincolnshire
d) Third Qtr. 1914 Nottingham

She usually wnet by her middle name (the death record and earlier census records list her as "Sophia").

If it helps at all, she lived on 11 Clare St. in Nottingham at the time of her death. She would have been a widow, but her husband (from whom she was estranged) died and is buried in Leicester.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!!

Hello Kavik,

As far as Nottingham goes, I would try Nottingham General Cemetery. If you think that there was a chance that she was Jewish...a lot of Jews lived around Clare St....you could try the Jewish cemetery

There is a CD of the General Cemetery, Kavik. Maybe someone here has it & could have a look for you

If someone could do a look-up on a CD that would be great - as far as I know she was not Jewish (CoE as far as I know).

Hi,

The Notts Family history CD of the General Cem, is for monumental inscriptions.  I have checked for you and there are no entries for Brackenbury's.

But you would need to check at Nottingham Archive as they have the full burial records. She still might be there, but have no head stone, so she won't show up on the CD (as I found for a few of my ancestors!)

Thanks for the look up - yeah, that's true about the marker inscriptions only (i.e. if no marker, no inscription to copy = "no" record). It's the same here.

I'm not sure what cemetery she is buried in either.

There are 2 Brackenburys in Church Cemetery:

John died 2/5/1911 age 67
Jane, his wife, died 8/10/1914 age 58
both in the same grave.

Also, in the NFHS parish burial register:
Jane Brackenbury buried 27/3/1878 age 62
Parish: Nottm St Mary
Abode: Holly Gdns

Don't know whether that's of any help?

[Kavik]

Thanks very much!! At least that confirms that she is not buried at Church Cemetery

Actually, maybe I misunderstood the info above - are you saying these ar the only three Brackenbury burials in Nottingham or just for that particular cemetery?

Thanks!
