Requested information – Barrow Cemetery

Email of 27-Jul-2008 to ‘cemetery@barrowbc.gov.uk’:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I’m hoping that you can assist me or possibly redirect my request. 

I am looking for information on the burial of my great-great-grandmother, Alice Bulmer (nee Brazier) who I believe was buried in Barrow Cemetery in about 1940.  I know that she was born in 1849 in Coseley, Sedgley, Staff and according to a clipped obituary I have (no date or newspaper cited), she was 90 years old at her death: 

Funeral service by Wm Ormandy & Sons; 90 years old at death.  Attending the funeral were:  R. Bulmer, grandson; M. Bulmer, great-grandson; Nephews and Nieces:  J. Brocklebonk, E. Fallows, Sparrow, D. Furish, Hope, E. Green

I would also be very interested in finding out who might be buried with her.  Since my great-great-grandfather, William Bulmer, is not listed as being in attendance at the funeral in the obituary, I assume that he pre-deceased her and that possibly he may have been laid to rest in the Barrow Cemetery as well.

Thomas Storey?

Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle etc (Portsmouth, England), Monday, October 20, 1828; Issue 1515.

On Saturday last, shortly after the morning coach had left Ryde, the coachman, Storey, was taken suddenly ill, and fell back on the roof quite insensible. One of the passengers then took the reins, and with the assistance of another outside passenger, the poor fellow was brought, between them, a distrance of six miles to Newport, where every attention was paid him, but all to no purpose, as he remained in the state he was first taken, till he expired, which happened on the following day, leaving a wife and five children completely destitute.
