Burial(s) in Welford Road Cemetery, Leicester

[SonofSussex]

I know several people have access to burials in this cemetery, so I'm hoping someone can check on the following for me.

I have been told that Grace Banbury, who died in Oct 1877, was buried in Welford Road, and would like to have confirmation of this.  I would also like to know if Grace's husband, John Banbury, was possibly buried there.  He died in 1893 or very late 1892.

Thanking you in advance.

Your wish is my command   

Plot uL 321 at welford Rd contains the following people:

BENFORD   ELIZABETH   1852   NOV   4   age 3    ASYLUM STREET   (SAINT MARY)
BENFORD   JAMES   1855   OCT   21   age 33   JARROM STREET   (SAINT MARY)
BANBURY   GRACE   1877   OCT   25   age 72   DOVER STREET   (SAINT GEORGE)
BANBURY   EMMA VICTORIA   1879   MAY   23   age 35   DOVER STREET   (SAINT GEORGE)
BANBURY   JOHN   1893   FEB   18   age 85   DOVER STREET   (SAINT GEORGE)
   

I don't know if the Benfords were of interest to you - I've included them for completeness.

Wonderful!  Thank you so much.  I don't know who the Benfords were, but I assume Emma Victoria was a Banbury daughter.  Will have to check that out.  I gather the addresses are the last residences of the deceased.

[Annie65115]

The addresses are listed as "place of abode", so it should be their last address and/or the place where they died. However sometimes this is shown as the hospital, but in your case it look as as though this probably shows the home address.

(I've just realised that the formatting of my post above shows Mary as a first name rather than as the name of the home parish so I've corrected that!)

Looking at the censuses, Grace and John had a daughter Victoria born c 1844; I wonder if this was Emma Victoria.

[SonofSussex]

Yes, her birth name was Victoria, and that's how she appears in other records.  Only in her burial record is she referred to as Emma Victoria.
