Hello all, Here is a list of everyone buried in my brother's plot. Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to afford a plaque big enough for all the names. Maybe one day someone else will find their loved one here with them. Linda Buried in Basford Cemetery, Grave No 21, Section E6 are as follows: Mary Jennison, 84, 12 Feb 1894 Elizabeth Alice Hobbester, 33, 21 Jul 1909 Charles Joyce, 82, 30 Sep 1922 Alice Mary Brauch, 75, 2 Dec 1936 Elizabeth Wilson, 79, 23 Dec 1937 Robert Davies, 8hrs, 7 Aug 1958 Gary Davies, 1 day, 8 Aug 1958 Stephen Redgate, 1 wk, 14 Aug 1958 Catherine Elizabeth Jackson, 2 days, 14 Aug 1958 E + NK Hallam, (Stillborn), 14 Aug 1958 (This could be WK as the letter is not very clear).
Strange how one answer begs another question I thought the name BRAUCH sounded unusual, I suspect it may be BRANCH England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007 about Alice M Branch Name: Alice M Branch Birth Date: abt 1861 Date of Registration: Dec 1936 Age at Death: 75 Registration District: Nottingham Inferred County: Nottinghamshire Volume: 7b Page: 308 I then looked at Elizabeth Alice Hobbester, 33, 21 Jul 1909 Again as the name looked unusual, but cannot find a death registered for anything like it Just shows the various records have anomalies, it shows why we have trouble finding our people at times Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Buried in Basford Cemetery, Grave No 21, Section E6 are as follows: > > Mary Jennison, 84, 12 Feb 1894 > > Elizabeth Alice Hobbester, 33, 21 Jul 1909 > > Charles Joyce, 82, 30 Sep 1922 > > Alice Mary Brauch, 75, 2 Dec 1936
Linda, Are they all descendants of the same family? I can't believe five new babies being buried within a week. Was there an epidemic in 1958? Peter
I have had a good look for the Elizabeth Alice HOBBESTER to no avail In fact I found no HOBBESTER or HOBESTER in the GRO index at all The only HOBBESTERs I found in the census are two families, the page images suggest FOBBESTER The nearest I found for Elizabeth Alice was England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index, 1837-1915 about Elizabeth A Fobester Name: Elizabeth A Fobester Estimated Birth Year: abt 1872 Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1908 Age at Death: 36 Registration District: Nottingham Inferred County: Nottinghamshire Volume: 7b Page: 193 Right quarter but thats about all you can say for it There does not appear to be any other FOBESTER or FOBBESTER presence in Notts Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Buried in Basford Cemetery, Grave No 21, Section E6 are as follows: > > Mary Jennison, 84, 12 Feb 1894 > > Elizabeth Alice Hobbester, 33, 21 Jul 1909
