Thank you for your reply. John Ashworth was living at 59 Kings Street, Cheltenham when he died.
I have tried the Cheltenham Cemeteries Department and they have no listing for him. Also tried Gloucestershire.gov.uk archives office and they found nothing listing for John Ashworth either.

Nearest church.......


St John's Church (Demolished),
Berkeley Street,
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Cemeteries

This Church had a graveyard.

Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all.


You may need to establish his last address.......................which will be on the death cert

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have now contacted the Cheltenham Cemeteries Department for help.

Have you tried to contact the Cheltenham Cemeteries Department to ask if they have details of burials on computer? If so, because you have the exact dates of death, it should be relatively easy for them to check their records to see if they have the information you are looking for.

Contact details:-

Telephone: 01242 244245

Cheltenham cemetery and crematorium, Bouncers Lane, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL52 5JT
