Brummie by marriage
This memorial stone is above the archways on the top tier.
There are four inscriptions:
Thomas Medlicott
1794 – 1853
Mary Medlicott
1797 – 1872
Samuel Thomas Medlicott
1828 – 1887
Margaret Medlicott
1839 - 1902
The microfilm index at Birmingham Central Library, gives the burial references as:
Thomas Medlicott 1099
Mary Medlicott 15499
Samuel Thomas Medlicott 37824
(No search was made for Margaret's ref)
The interment registers give a ‘two-point’ fix on the Medlicott grave, as follows:
1099 Thomas Medlicott died March 29 age 59. Of Gt Charles St. Grave purchased by Mary Medlicott Grave 52 in Cat 2J [cost of the burial not noted]
37824 Samuel Medlicott age 59 of Albion Road, Handsworth. Record says “Medlicott 323-1” a record that it is the Medlicott grave. “Reop CV”, which presumably means reopen Catacomb vault. “4/5/6” is presumably the cost of opening the CV.
This seems to indicate that the Medlicott grave is grave 52, located in catacomb 2 in J-section. The plaque is mounted to the left of this. On the photo below, the plaque is marked as 'A'
If you know more about this family, please add it to the thread so that we can get a better understanding of the people who are commemorated.
