Epsom [birth/death] 1930
« on: Friday 22 April 11 15:57 BST (UK) »
Looking for please if possible the birth and death of a May Davies I have both as June qtr 1930 assume May died soon after birth .Trying to establish if there is a burial record , maybe Ashley Road cemetry  or a baptism maybe St Barnabas [temple road] .Trying to establish name of mother maybe EIRWEN [EURWEN] might still be single. Is there an email address for the cemetry. Is there any other way I might obtain the mothers name rather than buying either the birth or death certificates. Eirwen.

Hi


The link to the Epsom cemetery database (and to the cemetery office) is given in the Guide to Surrey Burials at the top of the two main Rootschat boards for Surrey.

Have been to Surrey history centre with regard to either the birth of May Davies June qtre 1930 with no success. Apart from the cemetery in Ashley road have any of the churches in Epsom  burial grounds  that were still open in1930.Thankyou Eirwen.

Hi

The burial guide (first page) gives the link to the Surrey deposited parish registers held by the Surrey History Centre. The list gives the dates held for baptism, marriages and burials for churches in Surrey. So for instance the deposited registers for burials at St Martins extends up to 1913 whereas the marriages go to 1996 and the baptisms 1993, which gives some indication of when St Martin's churchyard closed. Other than the asylum (Horton) cemetery and the Ashley Road cemetery these seemed to be the only burial areas in the town of Epsom. The other church registers have no burial registers.

Epsom was a civil registration district so a birth and death registration for Epsom covered a wider area than  just the town of Epsom. The guide at the beginning gives the links to the information on Surrey registration districts. If you click on Epsom registration district you obtain information on all the areas covered..
For Epsom up to 1934 it was all these places

Ashtead, Banstead, Carshalton, Cheam, Chessington, Cobham, Cuddington, Epsom, Ewell, Fetcham, Great Bookham, Headley, Leatherhead, Little Bookham, Stoke D'Abernon and Sutton.

Do you know for definite the mother was living in Epsom in 1930? A burial, if found would give an address but no information on the parents (unless the child was buried in a purchased grave in which case others buried with her would be connected in some way). Illegitimate children were less likely to be baptised particularly if they died young so there may not be a baptised. However again you would need to know the whereabouts of the mother/parents to consider which churches were local and whose registers (if deposited) it might be possible to search.

Hi Valda Again thankyou for the information, My mother was sent down to Epsom from South Wales and to my knowledge always worked in the Manor Hospital . So I have always assummed that she lived in Epsom so concentrated my research in Epsom.. Hence request for any other burial grounds apart from the one in Ashley road. Eirwen

Hi


If she gave birth she wouldn't be working at that time? Are you sure she did have a child? Epsom civil registration district covers a large area and the surname Davies is a common one.

e.g.

Births Jun 1932   
Davies  Mildred R  Davies  Epsom  2a 82   
Davies  Thomas V  Davies  Epsom  2a 82
Deaths Sep 1932  Davies  Thomas V  0  Epsom  2a 59
Deaths Jun 1934  Davies  Mildred R  2  Surrey Mid.E.  2a 250

Hi According to BMD the name of the child is May . Also it was born and died in the June qtr of 1930. I need to establish if the name of May's mother is Eirwen. Just to solve once and for all a story that has been told amongst my family. Eirwen.
