Burial Strays


While an individual would generally be buried in their parish of usual residence, this did not always happen. If a person had family ties with another parish they may wished to be buried with their loved ones who had already passed on. Sometimes an individual would die some distance from home and it was not practical to transport the body, so you may find their burial in an unexpected place.

If you find the burial of a Wing person on your research travels, please let me know.
