Hello John, The church in question is St Andrew's, Netherton. The foundation stone was laid in 1827 and the church was consecrated in 1830. St Andrew's was a chapel of ease to St Thomas's Dudley until 1843 when it became a separate parish. The burial registers for St Andrew's commence March 1842. I'm pretty sure that the cholera victims who were buried in St Andrew's churchyard would have been registered in St Thomas's parish registers, but if anyone knows any different I'd be glad to hear. For anyone interested, if you go to the Black Country Bugle website at www.blackcountrybugle.co.uk there's an article by Dianne Pye "A Deadly Disease at Dudley" dated 2nd November 2006. Cassy: St Peter's, Netherton doesn't have a burial ground. On the corner of High Street & Blowers Green Road, Dudley there used to be a burial ground which was the overflow burial ground for St Thomas's, but unfortunately it's not there anymore. Could your great grandfather be buried at Queen's Cross Cemetery?
