    Onslow is about 3Km west of Shrewsbury and Atcham about the same distance southeast of Shrewsbury.

      As Atcham district covers Shrewsbury St Chad which seems to either include Onslow or is really near it, then she may not have been moved very far at all to be buried.

        Oh hang on, you said she was buried in Derby? So what says Onslow on her burial record? Is that her address??

          Maybe you meant is Onslow near Derby?

          55 miles in a straight line!

            Thank you UJ, they are both in Shropshire though, i wonder why they had it different on the burial.

              We believe she was brought back to Derby to be buried with her parents, the burial record is for Uttoxeter Road cemetary Derby

                If Onslow is in Atcham district, then it sounds as though she died in Onslow and that's why it says it on her burial record. Or have you got the actual death certificate and it says she actually died in Atcham itself?
