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.
Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle etc (Portsmouth, England), Monday, October 20, 1828; Issue 1515.
"William Bond, a night watchman at some arches in Duke-street, near London Bridge, was found lying in an insensible condition, and died soon after reaching Guy's hospital. His wife, who had traversed all the way from Cable-street with two little children to bring his dinner arrived to find him dying, and the poor woman was overcome with grief."
