The plot thickens.

Had a reply from Somerset Archives today and they have no record of Patience being buried in the hospital grounds.

They suggest trying Yeovil Cemetery or Preston Plucknett Church. 

So onwards we go  :D

Could it be that she wasn't buried but was cremated? Are there any crematoriums in the area?

Yes the nearest crematorium is Taunton, but it wasn't opened until 1965 though.  But I should imagine it will still be worth contacting them though,  the crematorium is right next to the extension original parish graveyard in Wellington Rd near Musgrove Hospital.  So they might either know if there was a crematorium before and where, but also the burial records for both grave yards.

As there's  a possibility if she was buried local, it's the Wellington Rd original grave yard she might have been buried, or perhaps St James graveyard...

Thanks for the extra replies and crematorium suggestion :)

Have tried St James and I believe Wellington Road was the Yeovil cemetery one I tried.

I asked Somerset Archives if they could suggest anywhere else and they say she is not at Yeovil St John or Holy Trinity either.

They suggest I try in her birth parish - she was born Haydon Dorset - to see if she was taken back there for burial.  I don't know how common a practice that was unless she made a specific wish for that to happen  :-\
