burial records for lodge (reply)

Thanks Jeff for taking the time to answer my question. I do have the index's but was hoping to find the burial plots. I understand that more than likely the grave plots were documented and the records kept on site and have since got lost.I cannot get a definitive answer as to where they should have been but will persevere until I am sure they do not exist. Looking at my past entries on this site and along with responses I am very grateful and indeed impressed with the content here have managed to locate graves at bream, christchurch and viney hill,Im sure there will be more!

Hi Chris, Thanks for the information, yes the persons you list are correct, I do in fact have those particulars except for rose francis it seems the actual burial plot records may have been lost as I cannot seem to trace a source of where they may be. I have spent some considerable time on one of my visits to FOD at Christchurch graveyard looking for any lodges and only found one headstone for edmond and emily.I will be visiting again this weekend so will be visiting rose frances(russell) grave.

I've searched the above on Ancestry and can confirm that images of the actual entries in the Parish Burial Records books can be seen and downloaded from that website, c/o Gloucestershire Archives. I believe the actual Parish Records themselves are held at Gloucester Archives.

This prior thread relates to this query.

I have been tracing my paternal ancestors for a few years now, have traced the name lodge to be associated with Bream and found a family plot at St James. I understand my 2nd gt grandfather and mother were laid to rest at Christchurch, I have seen the index but am searching for the actual burial records, dates are I believe 1897 and 1887 would anyone know if I can access them and if so where, I have been to Christchurch and only the churchyard plan is there, george lodge and his wife fanny are not on it so probably an unmarked grave, thanking you in advance.
