Which Cemetery?

I know this may be asking too much, but where would someone be buried if they died while living at Paddington Street and/also Tenby Street, Ladywood around the late 1890's going into the 1900's? Hope someone can help Thanks
 
Tenby St, possible Cemeteries - Key Hill or Warstone Lane. Would you like to give Relatives Names ?
 
Thank you for replying. I'm really clutching at straws! I've searched for many years for my Grt Grandfather's death with no luck, so I've had this idea to try a cemetery. His name was Arthur Edward James born 1863/5 in Hereford. (He'd moved to Birmingham by the time he was seven) I don't know the exact date even - all I know is that his second child was born in Back 46 Tenby St. 1895 and last child was born in 39* Paddington St 1896. His wife 'Selina' (nee Lucas) is there* on 1901 census with her 3 sons but no husband! (she's living with her parents) She re-married in 1910 to John Murphy. So Arthur died between these dates - or did he?? I can't find a death record that fits. Fingers crossed! Thanks again
 
I found one Arthur E James in Warstone Lane Cemetery buried 1895 in section P grave number 1948. I have no other info and no way of knowing if this is your Arthur Edward James.
 
Thank you Wendy, I wish it had been 1896 and not 1895 - I don't think that this will be him as his last child was born in the November of 1896 so it would be too early - unless she had an exceptionaly long pregnancy!! It doesn't show an age does it? Well my search goes on. Thank you again

Hi Wendy, Is there a Database for burials in Birmingham? Or would I have to locate which cemetery to contact. I have Grand parents who died while living in Moseley road, Would have no idea of which cemetery.
