  • Coventry Burials

    Hi all

    Have a death cert for my Charlotte now and would like a bit of help please. Charlotte Ward died 11 Mar 1929, 93 Godiva Street, Coventry. Could anyone help with where she might be buried as I don't know the area. Arthur Bird son in law registered the death and from that I would say her daughter Florence married twice

    Marriages Mar 1913
    Ward Florence E Poole Coventry 6d/1090
    Poole Sidney S Ward Coventry 6d/1090

    Marriages Jun 1917
    Bird Arthur Poole Coventry 6d/1181
    Poole Florence E Bird Coventry 6d/1181

    Sadly found this too

    Deaths Mar 1926
    Bird Florence E 35 Coventry 6d/742

    The Wards are originally from Leicester
    Many thanks

      Hi,

      I dont know Cov very well at all but if you google 'Godiva st' does it not come up?

      looking on my disc I see that there is a 'London Rd, civic cemetery'

      best I can suggest is looking at something like the councils website, or google maps and working out from Godiva St and noting down possible burial sites.

          I've had a look at the cemeteries location maps for Coventry and none of them seem to be that close to where godiva Street used to be. A few look equidistant. Try this link to look at the maps and there's also a postal and email address for the department.

          I know Glasgow will do a lookup if you have the exact death date and place, maybe Coventry will do the same for you?

            Thanks for that, with the road being built on I wasn't sure which way to go not knowing the area at all. Will try phoning, Leicester charge and it's £5 per hour if you go into look yourself. Everywhere is different

                        if you ever need to find a resting place again elaine, i find it easier to send an email to the council explaining what your after. they get back to you within a week. sometimes you have to be a bit pushy though, as they don't always do a thorough job. get pushy if they start bouncing you around and you find no one has the records you need.

                          I hope they send you a plot number, should you want to visit, London Rd Cemetery is huge.

                          Glad you found it.

                            Been told it is a closed cemetery and I need to make an appointment for someone to take me to the grave. Thought I would email today to see if there is anyone else in the plot,
