History Research Group

The  History Research Group was started to research the histories of as many  poeple that are buried in the cemetery as possible. The Cemetery has  over 8,000 people buried in it, so the job of finding out about them is a  huge task.

The  group meet every couple of months to compare notes. Some of the group  are researching their own family history and providing pictures and  documents to back up their research and all will be catalogued and made  available on the website.

If you have relatives in the cemetery and would like to pass on some information to us, please download this form and complete it, then e-mail it to Ros Clow with your contact details.

Below are some of the research documents that the group have created so far.

Research in progress

At any time cemetery friends are busy researching individuals buried in the cemetery. We do this using our own documentary records, the internet, newspapers and information given us by relatives or other contacts. Then each person will be written up and added to this website.

If the person you are looking for does not come up using the website Google search facility it is worth looking at the spreadsheet of individuals as their research might be in progress, but not yet written up for the website.

If you can tell us more about any ‘resident’ please contact committee@fnrcnewbury.org.uk
