I have been looking for the burial of Richard Finch for the past year and at one point believed that he was buried in Gloucestershire. However, I once again looked at the Lancashire On line parish clerk project and find that Richard is actually buried in Burnley.
Richard was, in fact, buried on 20th Sep 1934 at the Burnley Cemetery. It is the same Richard because the address is given as "Rosegrove Ableton La. Severn Beach Bristol".
Startlingly, Richard is buried in grave A12655 and that means that Richard is buried in the same grave as his first wife. Imagine: Richard is buried in the same grave as his first wife when he died whilst married to the second wife Ellen.
That Richard died without apparently leaving anything to Ellen or the children is interesting but Richard is buried with Nancy Jane who died in 1917. There is clearly a story to be told here and that is probably a real humdinger!
I am so relieved to find Richard's burial. It is like finding an old friend and it is a sort of closure.
