hi pollypops many thanks for the offer, my father in law whose mum she is, is arranging to drive up to Birmingham to visit the grave soon, apparently it is very near the back of the crematorium. other wise i would have taken you up on your kind offer.

Success, despite being told when i enquired at Yardley Cemetery back in september that there was no record of her there, and having emailed every cemetery that was open in 1942, my father in law in the end paid the Birmingham Geaneologist service to do a search and they found her, yes you...

my father in laws sister in Spain told me today that her aunt (who passed away a couple of months ago) told her that on the day of the funeral in 1942 there was mud everywhere as it was a new cemetery, so the next job will be to revisity the cemeteries page and see if any were new at that time.

Hi Shortie i know that would be the best way but i was thinking more about the two peoples time that could be wasted if i hit gold on the first try, time i have plenty off, with being at home and looking after my wife, its one reason i started the family tree lark to pass the time, now i am...

Thanks Shortie i will email then one at a time and see if i can find her that way, my father in law is the last of the two generations alive at the time and i recently reminded him of his mum while i was researching my wifes family tree, he has never been to the grave becuse he never found out...
