yes Lady has sorted
i thought you had more info to give when you asked for details
Island yes PM if you wish

This is the problem with having a reply box at the end of every page rather than only at the end of the thread.
Keith may I pm you re grave lease transfer to avoid confusion?

I missed more - hasn't Lady Augusta sorted this?

yes she died in norwich her cremated remains were buried in cheshire
in Warrington cemetery .
her parents were from father born Aldershot mother born Warrington
both lived with Mary in Tooting London on 1911 census .
her father was a school master in thar area
she had a brother Robert died in ww1 aged 20 and a sister Alice no idea about her
i am puzzled eg what is the draw to Warrington apart from the fact she was born here.
in those days pre NHS women used to go home to their mothers to give birth .
she was married in Wandsworth .no idea where her hubby was born but obviously somebody arranged for her remains to be transfered from Norwich to Warrington
as the time is not very long ago i was hoping there were some relatives still in Warrington but i think to try to find out about that is nearly impossible

Sorry, have I missed some details her. Mary Corbridge died in Norwich in 1997, age 100, and are you saying she was buried in Cheshire?

Where in Cheshire was she buried?

I've not heard of graves being that big Valerie!

Can you give us some details about Mary, e.g. where her parents were from, born, married, died. It might give some clues.

i had to have the grave deeds transfered to me.my dad bought the grave plot for my brother to be buried then my dad was buried in it in 2000
my mum died 2001 .the undertaker could not get permission to have the grave opened as my dad had not transfered the deeds to my mum.
the council wanted to see the grave deeds but they could not be found
so i had to go to a solicitor with my siblings and they had to state in front of her i could have the grave.
this lasts for two years then it has to be done again.
they are very frightened in case in the future somebody comes along with a claim.
it sounds worse than it is the proplem would occur if more than one person wanted to own the grave hence siblings signing it to me giving their claim to it up.

you can apply to see the deeds I had to have some deeds trasfered into my name
My gfather gmother thier daughter are all in the same grave as when it was purchased the first one went in deep enough so it would take all 3 as thier daughter was unmarried I have to have the deeds changed over to me so my mother's ashes can go in when the time comes

No happy bunny the funeral has to be the same day
As a lot of children died before their 5th birthday and parents couldn't afford a funeral the baby/child went in with an adult that was being burried at that time which is why sometimes it's hard to find a record of where the baby/child is burried it was never put on the headstone

Hi Happy B

I am in the process of applying to have a current lease transferred and it is more involved than I was initially led to believe.
It may well vary from one council to another so I would be interested to know how you get on.

If the cemetery doesn't have a cemetery office in it (which some have) then contact the local council offices for the area and ask for the cemeteries department. They should be able to tell you when the lease to the grave runs out and how much it will cost to renew.

Get in touch with the people who own/run the cemetery for precise details.

Because I thought for a moment my uncle was pulling my leg , silly I no but I really wasn't sure

Ok so I would have to pay for another 70 years , the reason why I ask is because me and my uncle where talking and he was told after 70 years they could use my gtgrand parents plot for someone else . How would I find out how much to pay for another 70 years kath thanks for reply .

Unless a burial plot is purchased then it can be used for other people after a certain length of time (I think the length of time is different for different cemeteries). Not sure if it is the same for churchyards.

Even if you purchase a grave you only own it for so long and then have to pay again to keep the rights to it.

Whilst doing my research I found that a cemetery had been re-used. All the headstones were put in a section of the churchyard and then the grounds were re-used.

Hi , was just reading ur thread , please tell me if I have got this right that after 70 years . The church where my gtgrandfather and gtgrandmother is buried they can use it for someone else ....... I really don't like the thought of that. Please tell me that I'm wrong I'n my assumption

YES They often buried babies and children in the same coffin as a stranger if parents could not affford it, the body was just put in the same coffin and not marked on the headstone

Hi Keith, You are most welcome ,Hope you are able to make more progress.
Just to let you know PORINGLAND is part of NORWICH .

Good luck with your research.
Regards,
James
