I have found a family record in the Nautical Magazine At the Royal Hospital Haslar after a few days illness Richard Cotter Esq. Purser of H.M.S. President leaving a widow and 8 children to mourn their loss. Since his home addresss was Lambeth London and I cannot trace a burial record there, whether he was buried at the RN cemetary Haslar. This would be 1834. Is there a burial index for this RN cemetary ?

I'd be interested in that too, so please reply to list! I have an ancestor, Robert MORTLEMAN, who was a marine in HMS Guernsey. His will was made in the Royal Hospital, Haslar a few days before he died in April 1767. I don't think he would have had much to leave (he mentions along with the usual items 'Salary Tickets Bounty Money Prize Money Short allowance money Smart Money pensions Wages'), but it all went to a victualler by the name of Ralph GRIGG. I presume Robert would have been buried in Haslar Cemetery, but it would be nice to know.
