Re: section T city road

Elaine, thank you for the email and it does look what is written is what is transcribed.

I am now beginning to think it an massive error on the person who performed the ceremony or in deed filled in the book

In the plot section it says 4468 but look at the left hand side and look at the number in the second column yep 4468. I reckon that the person is buried in section T but where we might never know.

Re: section T city road

Hi John,

I would follow thru with a visit to City Road and follow the instructions that are in the notes column.....then.... let them know in the office that there is a problem and let them sort it out.

Re: section T city road

Hi John,

If you look at the page I sent you I can see where the error is but it doesn't help find the burial spot.

The number in the order book is 4468 and then look across at Number of Grave it also reads 4468. It shouldn't be.

I would suggest that they (City Rd) look in the T section for another burial taking place on the 19th May 1888. I would say its the Registrar that made the error as its all in his writing.
