The original FAG information included everything below plus "Burial: Fordham Cemetery
Fordham, East Cambridgeshire District, Cambridgeshire, England...Originally Created by: Beca, Record added: Mar 31, 2009".

I don't know why the cemetery was changed and there seems to be no stone to verify the location. His will specifies burial in Kennet. If anyone can verify the location it would be most appreciated!
