Hi Sarah,

Transcriptions are on FMP, who are you looking for?

Moira.

Hi I’m looking for my ancestor Samuel Swinden who died at 77 Martin Street in May 1916. I can’t seem to find him anywhere!

Hi Sarah, have you tried :- ( www.lastnames.myheritage.com/Swinden‎ ) at the present they are offering a 14 day free trial.
also perhaps Pat Swinden will see your request and get in touch.
regards Barry Green

Hello Sarah,

I don't find him on FMP or Ancestry or the National Burial Index CD.


Terry

He is on FMP, but as SWINDIN. Grave NP966 in Wardsend Cemetery.

Hugh

Same address, but different grave and spelling...

Sarah Ann SWINDON
buried 29 Dec 1928
77 Martin St
aged 79y
grave NP235

I can't find any other burials in NP966

NP235 has two other burials: Sydney GOODINSON 1927 and Charles SARGEANT 1929. This may be a public grave.

As far as I can tell from the plans, neither grave has a gravestone.

Hugh

Thanks so much Hugh for solving my mystery! It seems I have a growing number of ancestors buried in Wardsend cemetery. He’s my black sheep & went to prison several times throughout his life for theft. He began in his teens & even went to reform school for 5 years. It’s not a surprise that there wasn’t a grave stone considering !!
