I have been searching a long time

It would be a help to know where you've been looking.

Have you approached the Cemeteries department of Cheshire East Council? They are the first people to ask.

Might your father have assumed responsibility for a funeral? If so his address at the time may also be relevant, if it wasn't in the same area as her place of death.

Hello

Have you tried Crewe Cemetery, seems to be where a lot of the town's folk are interred etc.
01270 212643
This link will show the other Cemetry in the area, I think it is ulikely that she would be interred in Bunbury / or Walgherton this being a small village.

There are restrictions /qualifications on some churchyards aswho can be buried within them!

I must be bored because I googled.

Marlowmag - Are you the person who posted on another site that "the burial register of St Mary`s Nantwich has 14th March 1927"?

If you've already found her listed in a burial register, what exactly are you asking for in this thread?

Marlowmag - Are you the person who posted on another site that "the burial register of St Mary`s Nantwich has 14th March 1927"?

Just in case you're not the same person, I'll confirm that The FamilySearch transcription has -

name: Frances Ravenscroft
event: Burial
event date: 14 Mar 1927
event place: Nantwich, Cheshire, England
gender: Female
age: 65y

You'll want to be aware of the following two items in the Cheshire Archives catalogue under Nantwich Parish -

Register of burials
Apr 1923- Aug 1943
P 120/4525/34

Register of graves
1889- 1963
P 120/4525/37

Cheshire Archives has a research service and a photocopying service.

Peter isn't online at the moment but I am sure he didn't imply that you were boring him. No doubt he will comment himself but I imagine he was simply referring to the fact that he had nothing else to do so googled the name for you.

If you read his following post (#5) you will see that he has gone to some lengths to help and advise.

Hello marlowmag

Peter was only asking you to clear up the confusion between what you say in your original post above, and what you've said on another forum, as they seem to contradict one another.

Above in post #1 you say

I have been trying to find out where Frances Ravenscroft is buried Frances died 14th March 1927 at 200 The Barony which i understand iwas the Nantwich union workhouse

and in post #6 you say

she is not buried at St Marys Church Nantwich

But on a GenForum message board it says:

i have a death certificate for Frances Ravenscroft who died 8th March 1927 age 65(spinster) she died in the Nantwich Union workhouse i have been trying to find out where she is buried i presume she is in a public grave her last address is given as Olive Cottage Wugherton (canot read the writing) Nantwhich she was a general servant the burial register of St Mary`s Nantwich has 14th March 1927 frances Ravenscroft of 200 The Barony age 65(page 39)

I thought this furum was for helping and advising

If you could clarify whether Frances is or isn't listed in the Nantwich St Mary burial register, then perhaps we will be able to be more helpful.

I didn't intend to imply that you were boring.

I'm wondering what the explanation of the FamilySearch entry is. It says Nantwich and it's under Cheshire Parish Registers. Have you tried asking FamilySearch to confirm the source?

Both the burial and the graves registers of Nantwich Parish Church have been filmed and are available through Mormon centres. The order details are: FHL BRITISH Film 2105035 Items 1 - 4

[Peter Goodey]

Also it would be helpful to know exactly what Cheshire Archives claim to have searched.

For example you say "there no entry at the union workhouse" for her. Did their search include Barony Hospital, Nantwich (formerly the Poor Law infirmary)?
