Is this relevant?

First name(s) Last name(s) DOB Sex Occupation Marital status
Agnes H Stacey 08 May 1886 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married

What were you hoping to find out from the NBI? If you were looking for a date of death, you may have to purchase the DC.

Hello +++DetEcTive+++.

Yes that is the family.

I was hoping to get burial dates if possible and perhaps dates of death as I found a few entries on the Berkshire Index which gave a date of death.

Have had a look on

Nothing there - like the NBI the coverage isn't complete, although more records are being added all the time.

The burial registers are held at Weymouth Crematorium. Unless you can make an appointment to search them for yourself, they may be willing to do so on your behalf. Ask how much they charge!

Cemeteries covered are

Weymouth Cemetery, Abbotsbury Road, Weymouth

Melcombe Regis Cemetery, Newstead Road, Weymouth (the oldest)

Wyke Regis Cemetery, Wyke Regis, Weymouth

There wasn't anything on Findagrave or BillionsofGraves either. Mind you, a lot of the time the info is taken from headstones only.

You could double check to see if either Estates went to Probate. I did look, but couldn't spot entries to at least 2 years after their deaths

you could try looking for obituaries in a local newspaper ................. such obituaries usually give date of death and date and place fo burial
