Martha RAMSTER died 30 October 1887 aged 39 (Spinster)

Buried in an unmarked grave at Cleethorpes Cemetery in Section J

She is the ONLY Ramster in Cleethorpes Cemetery up to 1993

Louisa (nee Berry) was the wife of Henry.

That would make her nearly 10 years OLDER than Henry. It is quite rare for that generation to have such an age gap ‘in reverse’. It was quite common for a man to be 10 years + older than his wife, but not ‘tuther way.

this also just in from my mother as of this evening:

Louisa (nee Berry) was the wife of Henry.
Louisa Berry’s family had shop in Victoria Street and were Game Dealers and Poulterers.

Just printed off HH’s wonderful listing of the Ramster’s family burried at Scartho.
Please thank him for us. I will also be forwarding a copy to Jean in Lincoln who has been the main researcher.
BTW - Rose is father’s Grandmother (not Aunt) and therefore your Great Grandmother.

I’ve got an Ada listed, who died childless, I wonder whether “Ada died 16 February 1900 aged 1 month (believed to be twins)” were tragically hers?
Again, I’ve got an Arthur who died childless, I wonder whether the 2 year old was his ?

2 years old . . . to think how we moan and complain . . .

HH,
Henry died 7 June 1962 aged 79
I’ve found this one as well but, there is no date of death listed, this is obviously why, no stone but you’ve uncovered the date - wonderful!!!

Louisa
Now, I can’t find her, so is she not related or somebody new ?!

The young ones without markers HH . . .
In huge appreciation

Now you may think thats not a bad addition to this thread……but wait….these are only the ones with headstones!!!!

Those buried without any grave markers are as follows

(Un-named male) died 5 February 1900 aged 16 days
Ada died 16 February 1900 aged 1 month (believed to be twins)

Arthur died 13 January 1917 aged 2

Florence died 1 February 1914 aged 2

Henry died 7 June 1962 aged 79

John died 11 September 1913 aged 7 months

John Arthur died 6 January 1911 aged 13 days

John Willie died 3 November 1904 aged 15 months

Louisa died 13 May 1941 aged 67

Percy died 11 January 1912 aged 1 month

And thats it! 10 Ramster’s buried with nothing to show for it. Some may be buried with other relatives and just not named on the headstones. The only way to find out where they are buried is to ask at the Crematorium office, but just be aware that the robbing fatherless Council staff charge you £7 to search for each and every name for you.
