Trying to find a grave location

[Kessy1]

#jonw65 I would like to see the notice in the West Sussex Gazette if at all possible. Thank you

#Little Nell Someone within the Church office for Buncton kindly returned a call from me. She has access to the records and was going to do her best to see what she could find. She did say to me a lot of the things that you have about records not being kept properly or destroyed. Thank you for your help and wishes, much appreciated.

#John915 Thank you, it is very possible that he is buried in the same churchyard but in a different place. Any assistance is much appreciated, thank you very much.

Good afternoon,

I visited today and got some photos but they wont download to my PC at the moment. There are several Maple graves at All Saints all in a small area. 4 have stones but looking at the area around them there are more graves some of which could be Maples. I have a meeting tonight but will get on this when I return.

In the meantime here is an ariel shot, blue marks the area where the graves are, red the two cleaned graves and green the others.

John915,

You're on a lookup forum, which don't permit attachments. Maybe Kessy can get the thread moved to the general Sussex forum.

Here is my email address to send them if that is ok. Thank you so much for taking the time to look for me.

Hi
I'm afraid I can't attach the newspaper article, as this is a look up board
It's a slightly strange one.
WISTON.
CAUTION.—On Saturday, 26th ult., Moses Maple, aged 37, sawyer, having been employed at a new parsonage house which is building at Ashington, went to Mr. Rowland's, of the Swan Inn, and drank a glass of ale, being at the time very warm; he shortly after complained of feeling very ill, when the landlord drove him home to Wiston-gate, being Maple's residence, at which place he died 36 hours afterwards. He was attended by Mr. Young, of Steyning, whose certificate states that he died of peritonitis. He has left a widow and six children, the eldest of whom has not yet attained 15 years.

Thank you so much, that is incredibly interesting although very sad. I learned today that he may well be buried at St Mary, Wiston. He was the Turnpike Keeper and residents and employees up until 1872 were permitted to be buried at St Mary. After this time the cemetery was closed and is open for members of the Goring family only, who own this estate. My contact has sought permission and is going to see what she can find at this cemetery. Sadly records for All Saints, Buncton appear to be non existent, not even a cemetery plan. A shame but we cannot change what is already done.
