FRANCIS BRAYLEY

Posted by Angela Bavidge on 4/6/2018, 8:38 am

Hello, Can anyone help me to discover the burial place of Francis Brayley born South Molton, North Devon on the 31st January 1871. His death was registered 3rd Q 1958 at Barnstaple but I cannot find a grave for him. He was living at 22 South Street South Molton in 1958. South Molton burial records do not show him or his sister. They had a connection to West Buckland, North Devon. Does anyone have burial records for West Buckland by any chance. Thank you in advance.

Sorry VJ - not sure what you mean. Francis was 87 when he died, born 1871 died 1958.

It's possible he was buried in South Molton Cemetery

Thanks Chris. I checked with South Molton council offices and there is no record of a burial at South Molton cemetery, unfortunately.

Burials for West Buckland only go up to 1911 on Findmypast. North Devon Records Office in Barnstaple hold West Buckland Burial Registers up to 1999. If you cant visit then you could contact them and see if they can check the registers and supply the information, might be a charge for this.

Perhaps he was cremated?

North Devon Crematorium didn't open until 1966 so if he was then it would probably have been in Plymouth at Efford as this was the only Crematorium in Devon in 1958.
