The cert has arrived and im 98% sure its him!! It has his occupation as a bus conductor which i know he was and the person who registered his death is his wife who is named as E Platts which i know is the name of his 2nd wife!! woohoo!! makes it all worth while!

Now for the next part of my challenge....how do i find out where he is buried or wether he was cremated. Will i have to just visit the church and search the headstones or is there a way you can find out online? thankyu everyone xx

EDIT - JUst bumping this back up to the 1st page :o)

So glad you have found his death certificate!

Now you have a date of death you could contact the local authority and ask them to do a search for his burial / cremation. There is usually a charge for this.

Another place to look is www.deceasedonline.com but I am not sure if it will cover that area yet. They are increasing their database all the time so it is worth keeping an eye on. You can search it free but there is a small charge to view the records. If you are lucky enough to find a burial on that site, you can view all the internments in the same lair.


Good luck.
