Hi Jenny, At that time in that part of Essex, which is very rural, there were relatively few cemeteries as we would understand them, except in market towns such as Saffron Walden, and most burials were still in parish churchyards. These have little connection with the registration districts, which were a civil entity. I don't have my map of Essex parishes to hand, but I would start with the obvious one, the parish church at Great Bardfield. Hawkspur Green is a hamlet of a few houses, and the nearest graveyard to there would be Little Sampford. However, the register is very badly water damaged (stolen in the 1960s and found in a ditch months later), and many parts are illegible. Little Bardfield is also a possibility. Just to throw down a bosie, it is possible especially if she was a young wife, that she may have been buried in the parish she was born in - I know of a prosperous farmer's wife who died in about 1886 aged 35 and was buried many miles away where she was born. Those are the first four places I would look. If you find a burial, I would also try to find out if there is a gravestone. If she was a member of a farmer's family (I'm guessing here from the place of death), farming had suddenly just become very profitable for the first time in a generation because cheap grain from the US and Canada was suddenly very expensive because of U-boats targetting the ships bringing it across the Atlantic, so there was money for ostentatious funerals and monuments. Hope that helps, Adrian Hello Listers I am wondering if there is someone out there that can help me shortcut my search for the burial of Louise Cecilia KNAPP who died 26 Nov 1915 at Salmons (Farm) Great Bardfield. I have found Salmon on a map and it is near Hawkspur Green; the death certificate records the district as Dunmow and sub district Thaxted. Should I be looking for cemeteries with those names or have boundries now changed and the cemetery that she will be in has changed name. I also would like to thank all those who have helped me a few weeks ago. This is what I love about family historians. Jenny in Oz
