Hello
I am asking if any member with a connection to Berrington church Halfway house has a photograph
off the grave to Arthur Dodd late Shropshire Imperial Yeomanry who died off influenza at Aldershott
early in 1901 whilst training for service in South Africa
His body was brought back for burial in Berrington churchyard
kind regards
Philip

Hello Michael
A big thank you for your kind reply
Arthur died at Aldershot in Feb1901, from pneumoia his body was returned home for burial at Berrington
I would presume at one point his grave was marked being a soldier, but there again maybe not ?
more research needed
kind regards PHILIP
Thank you John
for kind help i will contact the Berrington church to see what information might be found before a visit
kind regards PHILIP

Hello Philip
I presume you are referring to Arthur DODD who was baptised at Berrington (near Cross Houses) on 25 Mar 1873 and would have been about 27 years old when he died in 1901.
The monumental inscriptions at Berrington were transcribed in 1989 and whilst the names of Arthur's parents, William and Emma DODD and another couple of members of his family are recorded on a grave stone, there is no mention of Arthur in the transcript.
The Berrington Burial Register appears in the collection of Shropshire parish registers on the Find my Past web site where the following entry appears:-
Arthur DODD [of] Berrington [buried] 20 Feb 1901 [age] 27 years.
In the right hand margin of the register is a reference ' E.1 ' which may refer to a grave location. There is nothing to indicate where or why he died but that information can be obtained from a Death Certificate. Remember the death certificate will have been issued where he died not where he is buried.
