Where are all the bodies buried?
« on: Saturday 17 March 18 17:03 GMT (UK) »
 Dear anyone who can help me please?

It is not just the Oxfordshire area but out of all the masses of ancestors in my amazing tree I seem only to have found a small number of graves?

The areas in Oxfordshire are the Smiths of Winson, different Smiths of Gt Bourton and the Whartons of Little Milton (spreading into High Wycombe Buckinghamshire)

Thanks in anticipation x

A couple of Smiths here https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2366429/memorial-search?firstName=&lastName=smith and https://www.wycombe.gov.uk/pages/Community/Cemeteries/High-Wycombe-Cemetery.aspx and it states "The cemetery officer can help you to find a grave. If you wish to conduct a search, please email or telephone us in advance with as much information on names and dates as you can provide."

Oxfordshire parish burial records (Church of England) are available on Ancestry, and so are the four Oxford City cemeteries in iluleah's link in reply #1.

I can't see a 'Winson' anywhere in Oxfordshire.  What would be the nearest town please?

Iluleah and Carol, thank you very much for your prompt replies!  I will have a check through the links today.  Winson is Gloucestershire, sorry! It is near Cirencester.  I have been working on Oxfordshire also and confused myself even...  I do have their places of death and have to confess not had a look around the Oxford areas yet but now plan to do some research at beginning of May.  So far, the only graves I have come across are my local church in Llantwit Fardre, in East Glamorgan.  Went to that church all my teens, got married there 47 years ago and didn't realise the huge obelisk outside the church door were my family so looking at wedding photos now, they attended every one bless!  Thanks again both!
