Dear Evelyn, and others who may be interested in the social history of Ryde, The best place to start looking for people who died and were buried in Ryde, on the Isle of Wight is the Ryde Social Heritage Group website, where volunteers have mapped and recorded the inscriptions of many of the graves: http://www.rshg.org.uk , and have added census and stories for many of the individuas. The work is ongoing, so it is worthwhile checking back from time to time. A search facility on this website failed to show your ancestor, so the next port of call is the Isle of Wight Crematorium, where all the cemetery registers are held. They would be able to locate the burial place for Ann. Their details are: Bereavement Services   Re: Burial/Grave Details, Buying a Grave, Cemeteries, Exhuming a Deceased Body, Funeral Expenses, Municipal Funerals   Address Bereavement Services Section Isle of Wight Crematorium Station Lane Whippingham East Cowes Isle of Wight PO32 6NJ   Phone 01983 883010   Contact Name Doreen INNES, Bereavement Services Assistant   Opening Times Monday - Friday 9.00am - 5.00pm Saturday 9.00am - 12.00pmand 2.00pm - 4.00pm Sunday 12.00pm - 4.00pm     ATB   Sally-Ann ________________________________ From: Evelyn Smith <kesmith1@tpg.com.au> To: isle-of-wight@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, 28 September, 2009 12:27:59 AM Subject: [IoW] Burial Place on the IOW Dear Listers, Could someone suggest to me the cemetery an ancestor would have been buried in whose death was registered in 1879 in Ryde. This is, I hope, the death of my 3 x great grandmother, Ann LOCK.  A record which I have searched for for many years and only now found with the assistance of a helpful person on this list. An English death certificate will not give me this information. Can anyone suggest any further information at the Record Office or elsewhere which could be helpful in adding to my knowledge of this woman. Other than the births of her many children, I have only found her (as with so many women of her time) on census records. I would be grateful for any assistance.
