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.
