Death in Birkenhead

[MUMMYG]

Edited for errors

Hi all, anyone have burials in Birkenhead?

Looking for Thomas Foulks  1812 Lower Bebington Cheshire but died in Birkenhead 1877. His last address was 37 Warwick Street Birkenhead. He was a widow, no children lived with him.

I have searched the freebmd, the findagrave site and any parish records I can find in Ancestry, findmypast and familysearch (I found the index there but need more info) but there aren't many for deaths in Birkenhead, I've found nothing. Birkenhead doesn't come up on the Cheshire BMD either so not a even local hint where to search. His wife was buried at St Andrews,  Bebington.

May have to send for cert for him but I just ordered 3 births.

Surname incorrect - also spelt Foulkes on Cheshire BMD

FOULKES    Thomas    65    Birkenhead    8a   283

My money would be on Landican Cemetary

Apologies, I've been trying various forms of the surname and that one got stuck. I searched all the cemeteries at findagrave but if there's no headstone I'm stuffed, unless someone has church records

Mummyg If you haven’t used them before the digital images of birth and death registrations that are now available on the GRO site are really good. Only £2.50 each and provide all the same details as a certificate and are also available to download straight away.

Although his death cert won’t show where he was buried - it will give his exact date of death.  That info should help if you decide to contact the records office for burial info

I'll keep searching and do that next month if no luck. Thanks

Says the cemeteries dept will search for you - at a cost of £64 .

Though if you are near enough for a visit to Birkenhead Central Library  it seems they have the burial records on microfilm

This looks quite possible to be the burial record you are looking for?
