My faith in folk has been restored this morning after getting a great letter and the info I wanted below is part of the letter and I have removed the name of sender
My elusive Bad is Badgeley so now have to find that
Dear …
I was sent a copy of your email in case I could shed any more light on
your enquiry.
Because of various changes to buildings on the quaker held land it is
very difficult to be sure where anyone was buried, and as you were told
any remains disinterred would have been buried at Lodge Hill cemetery in
the quaker area. The headstones that were removed to Selly Oak were
those that had illegible markings or no discernible inscription.
As I was at Bull Street Quaker Meeting House yesterday for an evening
meeting, I took the opportunity to spend 5 minutes beforehand looking
in our records.
In a transcribed list of burials (made around 1837 when all the records
were passed to Kew), Nicholas Juxon is recorded as having died 26th 9th
month 1798 aged 56, button maker, buried 28/9/1798 at Bull Street.
You may have known all that.
Also recorded was his wife's death Elizabeth on 29/11/1821 aged 68
buried 5/12/1821 at Bull Street.
And sadly lots of children:
Elizabeth 10/10/1785 2 weeks d. Nicholas & Elizabeth buried 12/10/1785
Bull St
William 8/7/1788 2 weeks s. ditto
Sarah & Rebecca twins 15/5/1789 7 weeks ditto buried 18/5/1789
Sarah 30/4/1790 7 weeks
The earliest Juxon listed was Esther died 16/2/1671 at Hinckley d. of
Nicholas buried Leicester and
Mary 23/9/1675 d. of Nicholas buried Badgeley. (I know there was a
Meeting there.)
The records are meant to cover the old Quarterly Meeting area of
Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Rutland.
I had a even briefer look at the births volume but found no record of
your Nicholas Juxon.
Yours sincerely
