I'm trying to find out where my paternal grandmother is buried. Her name when she died was Elizabeth Flowers (nee Burgess) born in 1883. She died on 8th November 1918 at Chapel Lane, Navenby in Lincolnshire. She would almost certainly be in an unmarked grave, probably a paupers grave, as she had spent much of her life in Wisbech workhouse. Her husband was Joseph Flowers and they had married on 2nd March 1915. Surely her burial would need to be recorded somewhere ? I would appreciate any pointers. |

Deceasedonline.com. Have some Lincolnshire burials. If she married Joseph in 1915 perhaps he bought or had a family lair. Have you found Joseph's burial place please? |

She's not on this list - but may be in one of the unmarked graves, as you suppose. |

This link will give you the reference no. for all Navenby burials from 1908-1999. The actual records are held at Lincolnshire Archives, which are at the County Council - contact details as above in ArgyllGran's post. They ask that you quote the ref. when contacting them. |
