Gregory BEASTALL died 1893

[Mitch in Notts]

I'm currently adding burials from Wessington Parish Derbyshire to findagrave to accompany the 100 photos I have taken. I'm drawing a number of blanks and haven't the time for deep research on each one but the following is a total mystery!


Gregory BEASTALL buried 12th January 1893. Age 77. Abode is Wessington. (Transcribed as BEASTALE on Ancestry).

Please note the next entry on the page - 10th April 1893 also appears on the 10th April 1895 (ie twice in the register) and the stone has 5th April 1895 as death.

I can't find Gregory's death on the GRO never mind any other info on him!

The only thing that I can think of is that he died outside of England and Wales and was brought there to be interred - which sounds a little bit far fetched but perhaps not impossible.

I now think he may be the 87 year old George BEASTALL died Q1 1893 Ashover sub district (which includes Wessington) of the Chesterfield Registration District, who I can't find a burial for in Derbyshire registers unless it was of course in a cemetery rather than churchyard.
