I have the original bill for the funeral of Alfred Boswell dated August 1st 1919, in Lincoln. He would have been approx 25. Would anyone know where he was buried or where I can look to find the information. The family were horse dealers and hawkers. Jo

If you ring Lincoln County Council and ask to speak to the Cemeteries Department, they should be able to tell you which cemeteries were in use at that time and maybe even where the burial took place (unless it was in a churchyard in which case I'm not sure). Kath. x

Sarah, That's great. I'm sure Jo will be pleased. Can I just ask what years the Lincolnshire NBI covers please, as I have ancestors in Lincolnshire (Pinchbeck) and have no details of any burials. Kath. x

Sarah, you are a star!! Just the information I was looking for. Thought I would do some work on the in-laws, only they are all hawkers, dealers and travellers. Struggling a bit. But that is half the fun. Is the Lincoln NBI on the net, or is it your copy?? Thanks once again Jo
