Hello Helen You certainly have a problem but I suppose one of the 'least difficult' approaches might be to search the Baschurch burial register for the period to establish whether the burial took place there. It is available on microfiche at Shropshire Archives and may be available through your local Mormon Family History Centre. If you can't search it locally you will need to find someone in Shropshire to do it for you. If you need to pay for the research then a private researcher will probably be cheaper.
