John Trotter (General)
Are there any records of burials at Coleford Baptist Church and if so where can i view them ? I am looking for a John Trotter who according to his will dated 1835 he requested to be buried in the Family Vault Baptist Church Coleford. I was wanting to find out who else is buried there .

Hi Sarah,
I'm afraid I haven't much time today but I presume this query is related to this prior thread ?

Meanwhile, wrt your specific question, have you searched this site's PRs via the "Resources" link at top left of this page ?.
From this I can see various PRs for Coleford Baptist Church, and I can find two Burials for "John Trotter", perhaps more if allow for spelling variations etc.
