Hi there Barry - Was John born in Kent?

Barry

Barry Report 16 Dec 2012 19:07

Hello,
not sure how to precede with this,so i am looking for ideas.
Looking for the last resting place for
My G G Great grandfather John Woodhams 1833- 1887 and his wife Caroline {Card}
died 1913
John died in Groombridge Kent on the 7th of May 1887.
I have emailed the local church and wrote but had no reply.
Caroline died in Hartfield Sussex but is not buried in the local church St Marys so she is presumably she is with her husband.

Is there a place with recorded burials?

Hope some one can help......if not thanks for reading this.
Barry
