Dear all,

I'm looking if there is a grave from (General) Thomas Davies, born in 1737 in Shooter's Hill (London), England and died 16 March 1812 in Blackheath (London).

Any information on him, including adres where he lived etc are very very welcome,

Yours, Justin

Possible burial at St Alphege, Greenwich on 22 March 1812. Can't find the register to check for detail.

Transcript notes have

They have the burial date as the 24th March

Findagrave is submitted by volunteers so not to be totally relied on.  I see there is this note indicating they have all been moved
