Hi Brian Not sure where St Andrews is or St Peters Netherton is but I was referring to the Cholera deaths , They stopped burying people with Cholera at St Thomas and from a certain date and I think it was November 1832 onwards they where to be buried at St Peters Netherton in a mass grave But just in case you are on about the other church yard for St Thomas I asked about ?
