Hi Celia,

I think it is a trip to the library. As far as I know that is the only place that you can view them. Wendy will probably know if there is another way.

Celia,

Thank you for mentioning about booking. Because, while I was doing a marriage look up at the library, I thought I would look at the burial register. But somebody else was already using it. Now I know I need to book.

All the best
Ann
 
Celia it is possible to email the Bereavement Officer at the cemetery concerned. I have done this in the past and received very helpfull responses either the following day or within a few days. An email might be generate a better response than a phone call. Good luck with your search.
 
hi ann
i rang the libary today for information and the lady i was talking to said it would be wise to book at the mo because the micow films are busy at the mo and if i turned up i might have to wait all day or not get in to use them at all and that would be a waisted day
so if you are planning to use the microw think it might be best to book
