BURIAL RECORDS:
 
James Newsham died before Elizabeth but I have not yet found his death or burial record.
 
Elizabeth Gertrude Newsham, age 91, of 15 Maitland Street, Preston, widow, was buried on 22 April 1986 in a private grave in the Catholic Section, A-487, at Preston Cemetery. Hers was the ninth and last burial, and she was buried 6 feet deep. Burial number 85555.

 

NOTES:
1: Elizabeth's grave was purchased in October 1866 by her grandfather, Thomas Swarbrick, and contains a total of 9 burials - including her parents, grandparents, Auntie and cousin.
2: The GRO Death indexes list a James Newsham, born 27 February 1901, who died c. April 1986, but I cannot find this person buried in Preston Cemetery and it would appear that this man died shortly after Elizabeth - who was described as a widow in her burial record.
3: The above information is taken from microfilmed copies of the Preston Cemetery burial registers held at the Lancashire Archives.
