Please can anyone help me find the burial of
Henry William Francis Greatwood.
He died JAS q 1885 registered as St Thomas (Exeter, Devon)

I know he was living in nearby Topsham for many years before then - so assumed he would be in Topsham cemetery -but cannot find him on the cemetery records online (Exeter City Council graves-alphabetical index) He was well known within the community and a street had recently been named after him.

His wife was buried in Usk,Monmouthshire in 1849 (Emma Greatwood) but cannot find anything online so far-wondered if he had been put with her.

Just wondering if anybody else has any parish registers they could check for me?
or even another pair of eyes.!
thanks
