Question:

Is there a list of names for people buried in paupers gravesites, and does each city list that location?

found out in 1933 my grandmother passed away and was buried in such a site if Ft Worth Texas. Am interested in fining this in hopes it will lead me to my mothers siblings who were all separated at a very young age.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I found my great grans "paupers" burial plot, I asked the superintendent at the cemetery whether I could actually view the grave, they were brilliant. I made an appointment to see the plot, I was given instructions how to find grans grave, they were really easy to follow and as I got closer the superintendent had been and marked the plot out with chalk which I thought was really nice of him to do for me. When I asked about putting an headstone or a kerb on the grave. I was told that with a "paupers grave" or a "common grave" they are sometimes called the council owns the plot and always does, there were also two other people in the same plot, unrelated I might add. I am in England I only know the situation relating to UK "paupers burials"
