Cinderford cemetaries for an Aussie (General)
I'm looking for information on the burial of my 3 x great grandfather James Leighton, who died in Cinderford on 21 October 1894.
Can any one tell me how I can find out where he was buried?
thanks from Faymaree

I've only just registered for the members section and I'm waiting for my e-mail so that I can get in.
I have to go babysit my grand-daughter right now, so will check back tomorrow. Many thanks.

Well, my first day using this facility, and another part of the jigsaw fitted together. As you can see from the details of Samuel's marriage above he was a widower when he married. I knew that he had been married previously to an Elizabeth Williams, but could find no proof that the two wives were sisters.
Just a few minutes looking around here, and I found his other marriage, showing Elizabeth and Margaret's father was one and the same. I can see me coming in here on a regular basis.
What I really would like to locate is the baptism of James Layton (Leyton, Leighton, Layghton, Laiten) born in Pauntley in 1823, so I can figure out which Thomas was his father.
Thank you slowhands.
Fay

I 'm sure I speak on behalf of "Admin" as well, its always good to get feedback and understand that the passion shared by members of this Board is of benefit to others.

Oh yes Bertha, I forgot that one. Thank goodness my family finally learned to read and write. I wonder why they decided finally to go with the Leighton one?

Not always the Family, often down to what the Enumerator recorded, and then how well the transcription is performed - regulars here will be familiar with Ancestry "howlers" :-)
