Parish Records Burials
!Notes: It my seem like a bit of a stretch to take 3 burial records for Thomases, and decide to credit the two for all the children within10 miles with his their last name, but there doesn’t seem to be anybody else recorded. Both died in Clunbury.
-
Clunbury to Lydbury North is 6.3 miles.
Clunbury to Stokesay is 7.7 miles.
Clunbury to Bishop’s Castle is 8.9 miles.
-
Lydbury North to Bishop’s Castle is 3.5 miles.
Lydbury North to Clunbury is 6.3 miles.
Lydbury North to Stokesay is 8.9 miles
-
I’m pretty retty sure these are close enough to be the same person,
but as there are three burials,
and apparently three marriages with two recorded and those recorded in Lydbury North,
and 1 child in Bishop’s Castle and 3 children in Lydburry North, and one other in the right place and time to belong to this group.
-
we say the earlier death goes with the earlier marriage which went with the child in Bishop’s Castle.
This leaves all the Lydburry north records to the later death.
