Thanks Alan,

I don't think there are memorials for any of them - at least I've not found
any at Christ Church so far. Probably as you say - recorded in both as the
mother church and the chapelry (I bet the incumbent at Christ Church wasn't
very happy about it - well known rivalry between the two churches!).

I think they are probably actually buried at Christ Church. The graveyard
there was immense, while the space around St Michaels is quite limited. By
the mid 1800's I imagine St Michaels was getting a bit cramped.

Regards

Lesley

Christ Church was a chapel to St Michaels between 1775 and 1888 (Genuki) and
as such the burial would be at the chapel and recorded in the register of
both. Check this out by checking the mi for both and if their is a stone
then it should only be recorded at Christ Church.
