Henry Tanner

Posted by Antony Chapman on 31/7/2020, 9:44 am

I have the death certificate for great grandfather Henry Tanner, who died at The City Bank u.d., in Exeter on 4 June 1897. I would like to find out where he was buried, and if there is a gravestone.
I live in Wendover, Bucks.

Thank you, Jeff, for an amazingly quick response. That is certainly my Henry Tanner. Two more questions. Is there a gravestone for him? If there is, Would it be possible for someone to photograph it for me? I will of course pay for it.

Pleased to have helped you find your man.
Run a search for "Friends of Higher Cemetery", lots of info about the cemetery there.
You might contact them & ask if they know of one,
they might oblige with a photo.

One of volunteers has just started photographing gravestones in Exeter Higher Cemetery, but being so big it will take a while to do it all. Those photos will end up on the Members' Area as part of the surname search.
