Find Ancestors

Im asking for any sugestions on where i might find info on a Thomas Hanlon is buried.He was born in ppreston in 1949 june and died sept 1949 in preston,ive been to the cem and they have no record of him at all,yet his brother who died in 1947 is?
any help please

diane

Any chance he died in hospital and they made other arrangements for him?

he would have been 3 months old,and i dont know what you mean sorry

Do you have birth and death certificates for him?
Was he 3 months old?
If you are going by registration dates, he could have been much younger, say even a week or less. If that was the case, he might be in an unmarked grave in a churchyard.
There should be a burial site map somewhere though, - perhaps still held at the church or the diocese main archives or at the county records office.

I can see the death in JAS 1949.......but not the birth.

Was the birth actually registered in Preston district?

Where were his parents living?

OK.....having checked, and cross-referred with his brother's info, it seems that the birth was not in Preston district

Name: Thomas Hanlon
Mother's Maiden Surname: Moss
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1949
Registration district: Amounderness
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume Number: 10b
Page Number: 81

Preston is in Amounderness district.

HANLON Thomas - Fulwood Preston - Mother MOSS


Born in Fulwood area of Preston, if that's any help with narrowing down which church.

Could well be Broughton Parish Church ( St John the Baptist )

Worth checking the newspaper at the library. Perhaps there's a funeral notice in the Lancashire Evening Post at the time.

you say he was born in Preston. Where exactly does it say on the birth cert please.

As Mike says Amounderness covers the Preston area but not the city area only the outskirts such as Fulwood. Preston itself has its own reg district

on the birth certificate it says he was born on 12th of june 1949 and they lived at Howarth road which is the same address as his older brother who died in 1947,and they have records of him in the cem???

thanks

Which cemetery are you referring to?

Howarth Road is actually Ashton-on-Ribble, Preston ( but close to Fulwood).

St Andrews on Blackpool Road, Ashton has it's own graveyard.
......Just a thought.

are we looking at Cof E graveyards as there are also a couple of RC graveyards in Ashton

you obviously know that area quite well Mike

it will be RC as his brother was buried in a RC grave,and ive been to the main cem in ribbleton.I will try to get some info from St Andrews church.

thanks

St andrews is Cof E.

Rc try

St Andrews and Blessed St George in Cottam or

St Mary's Lea Town, both not far from Ashton

The nearest RC churches to Howarth Road would be St Anthony's, or Sacred Heart ... neither of which have a graveyard.

St Mary's, Lea Town has a graveyeard but it is miles away.

If the first son was buried at the town cemetery I would imagine the parents would do the same for Thomas. Strange that he's not buried with his brother.

Just wondering how long he lived . If he died shortly after being born, it could be that the hospital might have taken care of the final arrangements.

thanks mike.i will order the death certificate and find out how old he actually was.

many thanks again.
