Nottingham General Cemetery

Does anyone know if it's possible to ask if a certain person is buried there ? I've got someone who is, but it's his brother I'm really interested in & I don't know if he was buried there or not

Hi Grey,

its a flipping big cemetery, do you have a time frame at all?

[greyingrey]

Well, the person concerned would have been born in the 1770s/1780s....don't know when he died...or even if he's there. Just wondered if there was any way of finding out

[Darksecretz]

well I guess that you could trawl the microfiche (if you had access to it) have you tried a search on freebmd? to look for a death?

[Darksecretz]

have pm'd you Grey

The micro fiche are held at the Nottingham archives and I think they are index linked to names. Worth a try there and see how much it would cost for the research.

If you have a date he married / last child born to the couple and know if he is on the 1841 census it will mean there is a smaller time gap to look at.

Depending on where he lived I have found most of mine at St Marys that died between 1750-1850.

Just googled and it didn't open until 1837.

Thanks, Lin...can't find him on a census...at least, not in Nottm...suspect he died young/moved away (first prize to me for stating the obvious)

It opened in 1837 so there is a good chance he wasn't buried there but in a churchyard somewhere.

Only just seen Lin's post.... great minds!
