Where is the Tippin family buried

T

Tippin

proper brummie kid
I have been trying to locate the last resting place of my great, great-grandparents, Henry and Rosannah Tippin, but have so far failed to find them.

Rosannah died on the 25th August 1886 at Lower Essex Street, they had a daughter who died in the December quarter 1886, proberbly in Lower Essex Street, called Hannah Louisa Tippin, and Henry died on the 4th March 1902 at Tillingham Street.

After trying the main cemetery's that were open at the time, and the local church's close to Lower Essex Street (Like St Martin and St David), I have become stuck. Can any one help me locate them?

Hello Tippin, It is always very difficult to find where people were burid. The dates you have given are at a time when a lot of churchyards were closing for burial due to overcrowding and they were opening cemeteries. Have you checked the cemeteries. What religion were the family as this can narrow it down.
 
Hi,
I have checked all the cemetery records, for thoes that were open at the time any way. I believe that the familer were COE as the were married, and christened at least one child in COE church's.
 
If you have checked all the burial registers for the local cemeteries I am not sure where you can go from here, often people don't look at Key Hill cemetery as it was mainly "non conformist" but there are C of E there as well. Perhaps someone else may have a suggestion
 
Tippin,
I found this family not sure if it belongs to you.
