Would it mean that the funeral took place at the parish church and then the burial/cremation took place at Weston Mill? jane gould -----Original Message----- From: Peter Armstrong Sent: Friday, November 29, 2013 11:13 PM To: DEVON@rootsweb.com Subject: [DEV] St Budeaux, Devonport I have just obtained details of a relatively recent burial from the Plymouth & West Devon Collection available on findmypast. It is the burial of William Godsland on 29 Feb 1980 in the burial registers of St Budeaux, Devonport. However, it appears the burial actually occurred in Weston Mill Cemetery. Many of the entries on the page I have from the register have annotations added in tiny writing underneath the name of the person. In the case of this entry it has "W.M. Cemy". A couple of other entries have "W.M.Crem" which I take to mean they were cremated at Weston Mill Crematorium. A couple of other entries have "H.2." and "H.3." which I take to be plot numbers of people actually buried at St Budeaux. It seems rather bizarre that this has been done because I would assume that Weston Mill Cemetery has its own burial regisers which should contain details of all the people who were buried or cremated there!

I have been transcribing a parish burial register recently and what I found was that the register seems to record all burial services (and they are conducted by a variety of vicars, not just the incumbent) but not necessarily the interments in the parish churchyard. Some entries have marginal entries saying where the person was interred which could be away from the parish churchyard. This is especially the case after town graveyards start up in the latter 19th century and also after the original parish churchyard became full and a new one started elsewhere.
