I have a relative who was born in Horsham in 1839, and who died the following year on 22 March 1840 also in Horsham. I have been unable to find the baptisms of little Thomas Walter ADAMTHWAITE, or two of his siblings also born in Horsham. Does anyone have an idea whether he would be interred in a churchyard or a cemetery? The only clues I can give are that the family were not short of money, and that they came from a family which included an awful lot of vicars (which makes the lack of baptism records a bit odd, I thought). Thomas's parents did not come from the area, nor did they marry and die there. Any advice very gratefully received, though at present I am unable to visit any record offices. Thank you in advance. Margaret

He is on the IGI: Event(s): Birth: 18 FEB 1839 Christening: 03 APR 1839 Horsham, Sussex, England Death: 22 MAR 1840 Burial: as is Ann Hannah Adamthwaite, so I'm not sure what the problem is... -- Regards Dave
