Hello,
Today I looked round the burial site of Immanuel Church, which used to be the Congregational Church. (And is now Emmanuel Church, with the United Reformed and Methodist Churches). If you Street Google, Upper Olland Street, Bungay, Suffolk, you will find it. With the little yellow man, come from St Mary’s Street, and it is on the right, you’ll see the yellow cones in the road stopping people from parking. The burial area is in front of the church, and when the camera for Google arrived a wedding had just taken place. Behind, the bride standing on the grass, the grave stones have been placed, both on the right and left of the boundary walls all the way along. The grave stones were moved during the last 70 years, possibly before the Second World War, my informant can’t quite remember! Burials have not taken place in Upper Olland Street for many years. The area was then landscaped into the garden. Today there were no leaves or green vegetation so it was quite easy to see the stones, but sadly not easy to read the inscriptions, but they were all very old stones, and I could find no Ramus.
Sorry.
But I did find the following on the NBI =
14 Jan 1839 Elizabeth RAMUS 69 Suffolk Bungay, Independent Congregational
24 Jun 1837 James RAMUS 66 Suffolk Bungay, Independent Congregational
5 Sep 1809 Walter RAMUS? 1+ Suffolk Bungay, Independent Congregational
The NBI does have other Ramus in other sites in Bungay, if you PM me I’ll send them to you, none recent. My informant did not recognize that name and he is now 87 and knows Bungay very well!
Mary.
