Philip CONIBEAR

Hoping someone can help me!
Philip lived all his life in SHERWILL (Shirwell). Have found his marriage to a Grace Gibbs and the births of his children. He died on 7th July 1846 in Shirwell, North Devon but I have not found where he was buried. I have looked at Shirwell PRs and Loxhore PRs and have tried Bishops’ Transcripts on Family Search. I suspect that his name may have been recorded incorrectly on BTs.
Grace married again to a William ADAMS . Grace died in August 1884 but I cannot find her burial place either.
Any further thoughts, help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The DFHS has filmed Shirwell's registers and these are available to members online. However, the registers are sometimes out of sequence - you would need to search the whole register to be certain.

Thank you. I think I have looked through but I‘ll look again!

Grace married her lodger, on 1851 with him, and her children Robert 11 Elizabeth 9 Ann 20, then in 1861 they are living at Ilfracombe. Perhaps buried there?

Robert the son in Ilfracombe on later census, so worth looking there for her burial, and that of William adams. Death cert would give you the address where she died and the name of the informant.

Yes, I‘ve looked for William Adams burial and every entry in Shirwell PRs plus Loxhore - all to no avail. Haven‘t yet pursued Robert..
Thanks for help again.

Thanks Deborah. Yes, I did wonder about that too. Do you know if all photos and inscriptions have been done in all Ilfracombe burial grounds?
