I'm looking for the grave of Adolphus Goatcher born c1866/7 in or around Washington West sussex.
I have found his grave once about 12 years ago but I can't remember where it was, and I've been trying to find it ever since.
Any help will be much appreciated.

St Mary's Parish Church seems to be the burial place in Washington, though there are several others within a few miles radius.

There are other Goatchers buried in Durrington Cemetery, Southwick Cemetery, Hills Cemetery (Horsham), Findon Cemetery, and St Julian's Churchyard (Shoreham-by-sea), as well as at St Mary's.
