Family History - Flear
I am looking for any information on the Flear family as part of family tree research. In 1881 they lived in Dunston.
William Flear (Head of Household) was married to Mary Ann. They had a number of children (John, George, Arthur and Ernest). There home was somewhere near the Butcher's Arms which means nothing to me. Any information would be much appreciated

Burial Records - Wilkinson
My great great grandparents and my great grandparents were born, raised and died in the Metheringham area and (I'm sure) were buried in the "municipal" graveyard behind St. Wilfrids Church. Being agricultural workers of modest means, their gravemarkers (if any) have long since disappeared and don't feature in the Monumental Inscriptions held in the Lincolnshire Archives. I would like to mark the plots retrospectively if I can find them and wonder, therefore, if anyone knows if an alternative record exists showing the location of burials in the period 1860 - 1925?
