Death Registration - Jonathan H. THOMAS 1941 Quarter 1 (Jan-Feb-Mar) Age 73 Forest of Dean District vol.6A page 001
I walked down to Holy Trinity Churchyard, Drybrook this afternoon to see if I could locate his grave (I live only two hundred yards away). Sadly I could not see a marked grave. In the row of early 1941 burials I found a very badly weathered grave marker partly buried in turf to ? MORRIS who died Jan 6th? 1941, then an unmarked grave before the rest of the row which contained continuous and clearly marked graves with dates to the end of the first quarter of 1941 and after. Before the MORRIS grave marker there are depressions in the ground which appear to be a further three unmarked graves prior to which there is a grave marked JEYNES, ? December 1940. So he was possibly buried there, or, if his wife predeceased him he would probably be buried with her elsewhere in the churchyard, but I could see no such grave on this visit. Needs a check in the burials register to confirm.
