Hi,
I have the parish records for various ancestors but I don't understand how to turn this information in to a tangible clue as to where I could go find their grave. Here's an example:
Record_ID: 249874
Entry_Number: 1383
Year: 1929
Month: Nov
Day: 16
Surname: COOPEY
Forenames: Sarah
Residence: Ruardean Hill
Age_at_death: 48 years
Officiating_Minister: G R Newman Vicar
Event: Burial
Cause_of_death:
Memoranda:
Notes:
Register_Reference: P109 IN 1/14
Page_No: 173
Parish_Chapel: Drybrook
Soundex: C100
I know Drybrook is an area in the Forest of Dean, but when it says "Parish_Chapel" does that just mean she is buried somewhere in the parish of Drybrook? Or does it mean THE parish church of Drybrook, or is it the name of a chapel?
Even if I find out where Sarah is buried, would I literally call the chapel themselves to see if they know where she is buried? If she is listed?
Sorry to ask such basic questions, but it is a mystery to me!
Thank you
