I have for the last couple of years been researching my family tree and have never found the final resting places of these 4 ancestors of mine. If and When I find them I will make a long journey to pay my respects.
My 2nd Great Grandfather was Moses Alexander Wilmore. His first wife was Frances Elizabeth Heathorn and his second wife was Emma Elizabeth Sanpher.
Moses (Or Alexander as he was known) was born in Brighton, Sussex in 1856 and died at Kings Lynn, Norfolk in 1944 aged 88.
His first wife Frances Elizabeth Heathorn was born at Guildford, Surrey in 1861 and died at Kings Lynn, Norfolk in 1911 aged 50. She died as Frances Elizabeth Wilmore.
His second wife Emma Elizabeth Sanpher was born at North Creake, Norfolk in 1886 and died at Kings Lynn, Norfolk in 1972 aged 86. She died as Emma Elizabeth Wilmore.
Last known address of Moses Alexander was at 6 All Saints Street, Kings Lynn, Norfolk in 1912 (U.K., City and County Directories, 1600s-1900s)
I have no knowledge of which (if any) of his wives Moses was buried with. I would appreciate any help you can give me in order to locate their graves. I wouldn't even mind if there is a cost involved.
Also, Moses' son Frederick Alexander Wilmore (My Great Grandfather) was born in 1881 at Kings Lynn, Norfolk. On the 9th July 1915, he went out on a fishing trawler in Grimsby and commited suicide. There is no grave here in Grimsby or Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire (his last address was 2 Saunders Street, Cleethorpes). His wife Ethel Wilmore nee Major, at the time of his death then went back to Kings Lynn with their three children (Audrey, Reginald and Alice) for approximately 3 years. So I am pressuming that he is buried in Kings Lynn near his parents as Ethel remarried in 1919 back in Grimsby, Lincolnshire and is now resting with her second husband Frank Whitney here in Grimsby Scartho Road Cemetery.
F A Wilmore is listed on the All Saints Church Roll of Honour stained glass window. Which is odd considering it was a Roll of Honour to the people who died in the war and my GG took suicide on a fishing voyage and nothing to do with the war.
Please, can anyone help me, my family history has gripped me emotionally and I feel the need to pay my respects. Does that sound idiotic?
Many thanks,
Dean
