Thread: Anyone help locate Great, Great Gran in Ramsgate Cemetery, Kent

Dear Ancestry Aid friends!

I am looking for a grave in Ramsgate Cemetery, Mary Sabina Phillips, 1914. (Possibly Mary Sabina Heath)



I currently live in North Devon and am not likely to be able to get down to Ramsgate in the near future. I have recently found my great, great grandfather's grave in Reading and it has on it:

In ever loving memory of

OWEN PHILLIPS

passed into rest March 13 1911 aged 74 years

“Calm is thy slumber as an infant’s sleep

but thou shalt wake no more to toil and weep

thine is a perfect rest, secure and deep”

and also of

MARY SABINA

wife of the above

passed into rest May 23 1914

aged 83 years

“thy will be done”

interred in Ramsgate

Cemetery

I am therefore really keen to find the grave of Mary Sabina Phillips who died in 1914 and was buried in Ramsgate. Mary Sabina had a son Edmund James Heath out of wedlock and I have this theory that she may have been buried with him in Ramsgate rather than with her husband in Reading. It may just have been that she wanted to spend the last few years of her life by the sea of course! She is listed as still owning the grave in Reading, so I am thinking that there must be a reason she chose to be buried in Kent!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

I have a response from the Crematorium:



In response to your recent email, I would like to confirm your great, great grandmother is buried at Ramsgate Cemetery in D 1537.



Hopefully they will send me a map soon...!!

I'm glad to hear you found your 2x Gt Grandmothers grave..x

That's very kind. Think we managed to find a photo of her yesterday as well so all is good!!

Hi
Do you know if there is a gravestone? If so do you want a photo? (I live 10 minutes awy fromn the graveyard.)
