My great grand father, Frank Ernest Lee was born in Bow, in 1874. He was one of 17 siblings of varying ages. At any one time there were only 6 children. The other 11 children, from the age of 7 years to 2 weeks old, all died young, and are all buried in the Bow Cemetery. Is there a register of burials at the Bow cemetery, to confirm they are all buried there?

Incidentally, Frank Ernest Lee moved to South Africa ,to fight in The Boar war in 1899, live in S.A until his death in 1947, and is buried in East London, South Africa.

Many Thanks from Nelspruit, South Africa.
Peter Fetting.

Following on from my previous message…Of course, I have just realised that as a suicide my ancestor would not have been buried in any cemetery. Does anyone have any idea where they might have buried him in the Bow area? Lesley

Thank you for your lovely article perhaps I will make it there one day. I believe my 3x great grandfather might be buried there, he took his own life in 1854 whilst living in Bow so this seems the most likely place. Unfortunately I’m sure it would have been a common grave so no chance of find it. Thank you Lesley

My 3rd great grandmother and her mother in law, my 4th great grandmother were buried there. 3rd died at sea after giving birth to her only son. We only just found the record confirming her burial, we had previously thought she had been buried at sea. Hopefully when Covid subsides, my family and I can come and find them. Love from Atlanta, Georgia, USA!

I have a number of relatives buried here – mostly in unmarked graves – and visited last summer to pay my respects. The ‘Friends’ (volunteers) were so helpful and friendly. It’s a beautiful place. An excellent article. Thank you Gentle Author.
