Discover Your Dead Day

Saturday 12 January 2014 from 10:00 to 12:00

St Andrews Church will be open for ‘Discover Your Dead Day’ which will be an opportunity for genealogists, historians and interested members of the public to visit the Churchyard, inspect the registers, and ask questions about the graves in the Churchyard.

This day may be of interest to those whose relatives are buried there, or those interested in the celebrities interred there. A special guide to the graves of most interest will be available on the day.

These will be repeated on a regular basis, every other month, on the second Saturday.

    Hello

    My name is Kate & unfortunately,as much as I would like,I cannot attend “Discover your dead day”,as I don`t live in the area.

    I wondered if it was possible to see if there is a headstone to two of my relatives please?James Anstiss who died on 6th January 1897 & his wife Elizabeth[nee Pym] who died on 10th January 1897.They are both buried in your churchyard,possibly their Son William may be buried with them,he died in 1906.I am hoping that someone may be able to take a digital photograph for me of their gravestone[if there is one].Quite happy to pay expenses.
    Many Thanks
    Kate

    Hi i would like to attend the Discover your dead day on July 7th please. Do i just turn up ?

    I grew up in Windsor, my parents were married at your church.
    I have been researching my mothers family and have been unable to read the maiden name of my 3rd great grandmother Emily Jane Payne her huband James Payne b 1832 was a Parish clerk in 1891 but i am not sure if it was your parish . They lived in Bexley street most of their lives.Also their daughter Alice ann (my 2nd grandmother) married Nixon but unsure of first name, she was widowed between 1896 and 1901 he was not living with her and her parents when married in the 1891 census. Is it possible to come and have a look at the parish records at some point too to see if they can help me. Many thanks for your time, Sue

    I have just discovered yesterday that my family have an ancestor named Mary Ann Hull (nee Cripps) who married Charles Hull, and on the 1861 census they lived at 2 Dorset Rd Clewer Windsor.
    Mary Ann Hull is buried in the southwest corner of St Andrew’s church graveyard, and I have found from google, that her headstone states she was nanny to Queen Victoria’s children. Mary’s husband, Charles Hull was private messenger, after other titles, also to Queen Victoria .
    Is it possible please to find register entries for Mary’s burial, and also if Charles is there as well, and possibly a photo of the grave and headstone. Would there be a record of Mary’s parent’s names at all please?
    Now I have finally proven the stories I was told 45 years ago were true.

    Unfortunately I live 12,000 miles away in Sydney Australia, and would dearly love to be there in person.

    Many thanks
    Margaret

    Hello

    I am led to believe that my family history stems from Clewer; is there anything you have on this surname in your records.

    When do you plan your next open day?

    Thank you.

    Any further information on them at all would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, i hope you can help me.
    As i was born in Windsor not far from St Andrews church, i have been doing
    some research on my family members buried at the church. I have come
    across my uncle’s grave (Ernie Frost 24/nov/1994) in the same grave was
    his wife Vera but they share the grave with a Private W Colman
    who died on 7/apr/1917. Would there be any link to the family as the name is not familiar to me.
    I would be very grateful for any information.
    Many thanks.

    I am research my ancestors and have failed to get back past the usual 1837 cutoff for gov held records. This is also complicated by an apparent change of spelling of family name from Brucher to Brucker to the present Brooker in 1820’s. I have two records of the marriage of my greatgrandfather, but it is just brief details. One is as follows; Joseph Brooker and Louisa Trask married 7/10/1833, Old Winsor, Berk. Indexing 10364-5 System EASy, GS Film 1279476. ref 61 the other has Index I01163-1, EASy, GS Film 1040712, ref ID it4, p 61 no 183. I was wondering if these ‘Old Windsor’ record related to your church. What I desperately want to know is the name of Joseph’s father and any other information on the certificate. I am happy to make a donation for your time.

      Do you mean the St Andrews Churchyard? Or the Vale Road Cemetery? I can check the Churchyard records this evening, Vale Road will take longer.
