<< Hi everyone,
I would be most grateful for any information about the date of death and
place
of burial of my great-great-grandfather John HANCOCK, a coal miner/ quarryman
from Oldland/Bitton in Gloucestershire.
John HANCOCK is said to have died in Blaina in either 1869 or the beginning
of
January 1870. (He was recorded as deceased on the birth certificate of his
daughter Tabitha who was born at Bitton on 9th January 1870.)
If someone has the microfiche of the Blaina burial registers, a look-up for
John HANCOCK, aged about 29/30, would be much appreciated.

Hi, Josephine, in the Burial Register for St. Peter's,

Handcock, died at 24 years of age, on 20 Dec. 1869. The Register #ABST4/2219.
If you want to check on St. Peter's cemetery, The Gwent Family History
Society, has monumental inscriptions on fiche for sale, St. Peter's would be
fiche #82, check at their website:
