Martinstown and area
« on: Saturday 26 May 12 12:58 BST (UK) »
Hello I am wondering if anyone can tell me of a site that share information for Martinstown and surrounding areas for burials.  A chunk of my mothers family came from Axminster, Axemouth, Martinstown etc and I wish to find out burial information (cemetery, plot etc) and if possible obtain headstone photos for them. If you are able to help would love to hear from you.

Kind regards Amanda

I'm not seeing any mention of a Martinstown in Devon?

It could be Martinstow - but that's nearly 80 miles from Axminster!

EDIT! Found it!
Martinstown is in Dorset ;D
But it's 25 miles from Axminster?!
