Completed - Graveyards near Carver Street, Birmingham

Post by descartes46 »

Hello All,

Please could somebody with a good knowledge of Birmingham advise the nearest church of England graveyard to Carver Street?

I know the last place my ancestor lived according to the 1881 census was 89 Carver street, Birmingham and I would like to try and trace a burial record. I've investigated a number of Joseph BAKERs and it's cost me a fortune in certs from GRO and I still havent found him yet! I'm hoping if perhaps I can narrow down the possible C of E graveyards near Carver Street that this might be a good place to begin.


1881 census (age: 65) Residence: Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
89 Carver Street. Occupation - Paver. WIDOWER


Thanks guys.
Descartes

Thanks Mallosa, this is really useful. I'm not very familiar with Birmingham so this is a great map to begin my investigation.

Regards,

It may not be right? Just the area that his family were living in census?
I wonder if you could ask the local registry to get some help before ordering?
Mally may know?

Yes Jo, that death you found is about the right age for Joseph

Descartes, you could always get in touch with John Yates, I have spoken to him myself and he's very helpful

This is what it says on the Birmingham Register Office site...

"We have a resident Genealogist, John Yates, who is happy to answer any questions you may have about your family history research.
Email him at

register.office@birmingham.gov.uk and mark for the attention of John Yates or give him a ring on 0121 675 2909"
