Anyone close to Bridport, Bothenhampton?

[v.wells]

Is there a kind soul that could do a look up for me in Bridport Cemetery, Bothenhampton, Dorset please? I have at least 3 people of the same family probably buried there. There is no contact information for Bridport Cemetery records online. All of the burials took place from 1933 to 1953.

I have emailed Dorset RO for information to see if they maintain the records.

the dorset opc website has a contact to an MI database for most of the county, which as proved useful in the past. Nobody dealing with Bridport records at present but Bothenhampton has a volunteer who may be able to help you. Google dorset opc.

good hunting

Thanks maryanne I looked at OPC yesterday but my lot fall just inside/outside of the years they have transcribed. I emailed Dorset History Centre and hopefully they will advise me in a timely manner, if not I will email the Dorset Record office for the cemetery information at Bothenhampton.

Cheers for replying

I shall be in Bridport on the 29th Dec visiting family, let me have the details and I'll go and have a look for you

I presume you are refering to the main Cemetery in Bridport not at the old church in Bothenhampton which I'm not sure was even in use during that period

Wonderbar, Stickymone!

They are as follows:
Joseph M. Stuart 1845-1933 1Q, Bridport
Alice Catherine Stuart 1878-1937 4Q, Bridport
Eda Rosaline Stuart 1871-1953 4Q, Bridport

They may or may not have MI's but there should at least be a record of plot numbers. Eda lived at "Greystones" Bothenhampton. Bothenhampton cemetery didn't open until 1957 if my recollection is right. There are 3 more but they are slim to none to being buried there. Annie, Albert Hugh and Percy Robert Stuart. They too died between 1933 and 1953 but I am sure are buried elsewhere.

Thank you and bless you for taking the time out from your holiday schedule to go check it out.

If they have Stones I'll get you some piccies
