Miller Graves And Research, Great Marlow

©Marlow Ancestors. Use image or research if you give credit to this blog.

Note: We have grouped these graves together for ease of use as they are for people of the same last name but there is no reason to conclude that those on the different graves were related to each other.


Philip Homan Miller "of Moyleen" died 1928 aged 82 and his wife Marianne Sophia who died 1929 aged 78. 

Both of the above were artists / painters. Phillip and quite possibly his wife were of Irish origin.

Moyleen was a 14 room house off West Street/Henley Road. This would at the time have been referred to usually as "West End". 

This grave is in Marlow Cemetery. Marianne was obviously a skilled maker of preserves as her "pure orange jelly" was exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society show in London in 1909, earning her a Banksian Medal no less. During the 1st world war as part of the war effort a jam factory was based there. Local schoolchildren were allowed time out of lessons to pick rose hips and blackberries to feed the factory.



The above grave is in All Saints Parish Church. It's badly weathered but here's what is readable..

John Miller who departed this life November 19th 187-

Aged 35 years.

Daughter of the above, Jane born Jan 1867, died June 1878.
