Could someone please be kind enough to find the burial date of my great grandfather John Gardiner. I know he died 2nd September 1905 and was buried in the cemetery at Weston Super Mare. He was 53 years of age.

He had retired from the prison service and was living at Myrtledale, WSM with his wife and daughter (my grandma).

Thank you

Thank you so much for the information Graham. It is so good the get the full details to enter on to a family tree.

The family name started out as Gardener but it seemed to change to Gardiner from about 1851 although a family member that emigrated in the late 1830's did not change the spelling and remains as Gardener. I have learnt over the years to look up all 3 spellings of the name, just in case.
