Stratford on Avon burials, 18th cent.

[Alexander.]

Hello,

I've been trying to track down some burial records from Stratford on Avon and can't find them anywhere. Generally I am looking for the Evetts and Lacey families, in particular burials for:

- Michael Evetts (c.1716)
- Avis Evetts (c.1732)
- Hannah Evetts (1732)
- Michael Evetts, husband of Hannah (after 1732)
- John Lacey (c.1742)
- Hannah Lacey, wife of John

I know roughly the years from various wills and other documents but I would like to find the burials if possible. Stratford burials for this period don't seem to be included on the usual sites (Ancestry, FindMyPast) which otherwise have quite good Warwickshire coverage.

Thanks,
Alexander

On FreeREG there is a marriage for an Avis Evetts to William Dide 25/4/1717.

Thanks, the marriages and baptisms for Stratford are available in various places but not burials.

The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has various collections of Warwickshire records,  here is an example which might possibly include something relevant.   There is a link here "Enquire about this object" where you can e-mail the archive.

The Warks. CRO hold the burial records along with baptisms & marriages covering the period but you will have to go there.

Thanks John and Jim.

I am confused why the Stratford records are not included on Ancestry and Findmypast with the other parish registers from Warwickshire Record Office. Maybe it's a Shakespeare thing and they can't get the rights.

You have it correct.
