proper brummie kid
Hi all, hope you are all keeping well and safe.
I have been spending my time the last few weeks trying to summarise and fill in gaps within my family tree. I have a few brick walls and some queries. My first query I am looking at is these two churches.
St Peters and Pauls in Aston has a family plot, I believe it is for the Hawkes family. However I can't find any information to find it, my dad tried contacting the church some years ago but didn't receive a reply. I would like to know where the family plot is and if it is even still there. (The last person I know to have been buried there was Dorothy Norcott in 1939, her mother was Alice Leah Hawkes, who is also buried there).
The other, St Barnabas I just found tonight that my 2nd Great Grandmother, Emily Norcott, was buried there, however on her burial record it says "Reopened r S by Vicarage Sale" I assume that this means she was moved. I know the church lost its map of the burial plots in the fire, but is there a way to find out if they have a record where she was moved to? Or even if she is still at the church. A number of other Norcott family members are buried there too in a family plot, but again I don't know where.
Thanks in advance.
