Question for East Riding locals

[Larrytheleprechaun]

Don't know if anyone can help me really but its worth a shot. I had a relative who died in 1919 in "East Riding Asylum". She died during the big flu. Her family lived in a different country and she was buried in a grave along with several other people who died at the same time.

So my question is - would anyone have an idea what cemetery she may have been buried in? I am not in UK so going to research is not an option and it costs £15 per half hour for someone in the council to research it and at the moment that is not an option either. Any pointers in the right direction would be gratefully received.

(posted twice as I think I posted in wrong place before)

A quick google found this:

apps.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=047-cm5&cid=0#0

I'm not especially local but it looked promising.

Best of luck.

Thanks very much for the link, will have a look now.

I tried replying to this ages ago and the page just wouldnt work. Your relative would have been buried in Beverley Queensgate cemetery, unfortunately probably in an unmarked grave. Records from the asylum still survive at Treasure house archives in Beverley. Next time I'm over that way I'd be happy to try to find something out for you if you like? You'd need pm me with the details though xx
