Burial - Welford Road- *COMPLETED* Thanks

[JJen2]

Hi,

The NBI lists a burial on 2 Jun 1857 of Susannah Carter, age 88, Welford Road Cemetery. Would anyone have more details of this burial please? It would be very helpful to find her husband William also buried there or any other Carters.

Any help is most appreciated.

The reason several Families buried together
is that the grave is a Common plot….
Also don’t worry about the Stillborn child buried
on the same day as William
This was the normal practice to use a fresh grave
so avoid payment to the grieving parents of the child..
