Finding grave plot - Stony Stratford
« on: Sunday 09 February 25 15:53 GMT (UK) »
Good Afternoon Everyone!

I am currently trying to find my GG Grandfathers' grave, I know he is definitely buried in the town of Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire but I've had no luck finding the grave plot. His name is Ernest Samuel Anderson 1877-1939. I did find this at my local library although it doesn't specify which cemetery he is in, can anybody possibly help in locating it?

Kind Regards,

Tom

If you look at the image, you will see that it refers to the church of St Mary, Wolverton, and I would therefore assume that the burials took place there, rather than Stony Stratford.   :-\ :-\

I did find that the church was permanently shut sometime during the 1960s, it's located just down  from London Road Cemetery so makes sense they're in there!

Thanks
