How do i find the people im looking for ? r do I have to purchase the catalogue ? i cant see what your saying,

Hello Anita
You won't find the individual burials listed anywhere on the Internet as far as I am aware. You need to look through the Dawley Burial Register to determine whether they are recorded there.
When you go to 'Shop' top right, click on it then click on the Catalogue. At the next screen you will find 'SFHS_Publications 120430.pdf' which you can click to download the catalogue free of charge. You will need a PDF viewer program (free) to view the catalogue.

Thankyou Mike , I will try that x
Hello
Wellington Cemetery didn't open until 1874 so could only hold Samuel d.1884 and Thomas d.1888.
Castle Green Cemetery didn't open until the 1940's and Wombridge Cemetery didn't open until 1961 so neither of these could hold any of your people.
The Shropshire Burials Index (see 'Shop' top right, then the Publications Catalogue at the top of the drop down list) tells us that Thomas HYDE of Old Park was buried at Dawley Magna Holy Trinity Church on 15 Nov 1832 age 66 years (giving a year of birth about 1765/6).
I suggest you trawl through the above register to establish whether any more of your family are buried there. This probably means a trip to Shropshire Archives in Shrewsbury.
