Tracing where the grave is

[Antony1977]

My 4x great grandfather Thomas Deaves died:
Death
Oct 1861 • Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England

I’ve contacted St chads Shrewsbury, the church where he got married but they said their detailed records don’t go back to 1861, but I’m welcome to have a walk round the graveyard looking.

Shrewsbury is about 2 hours from me , I intend on driving up to have a look and to photo his addresses .

Does anyone know if there are other records of where he may be buried?

His death certificate will give you the date of death,  plus location.  I would suggest that you obtain this information prior to possibly contacting Shropshire Archives in Shrewsbury.  The more information you have, the better.

Thank you

I’m a total novice at this, where did you obtain that info?
I’ve just googled that and it brings back church of saint Mary the virgin
