Find Ancestors

I have received a call today from the nursing home where my grandfather lived, they spoke to the cook who was working there at the time, the only info she can remember about him was that he went by the name of Fred and also he went into hospital from there where he passed away, they have looked for more info but no luck as the old home was knocked down and a new home took its place so no records, so for me this really does look like the end of the road in finding any more out. :-(

Good luck!

:-)

I have just googled the house and it is a royal british Legion care home. Ive just give them a call and the lady I spoke to is going to see if she can find any information out, if I dont get any where here I think this will be the end of the road for me finding any more out.

Who was the person who registered his death and was also living in the same house?

Hi everyone I now have a copy of my grandfathers death certificate and also where he was living and who registered the death, the person who registered his address was also living in the same house can anyone help where I go to now as it is a long time since he passed away. :-)

Yes had a break through today found out my grandfather was cremated and his ashes were spread at Oakley wood crematorium Leamington, I've ordered his death certificate from the gro site as well to see if there is an address of where he was living at the time, hopefully I will be able to fine some relatives if he had any living in the area but not sure how to do that. :)

Hi yvonne ive tried funeral directors and they gave all told me to get in touch with oakley wood crem/ burial office.

The next time you order a certificate, use the online GRO site. Not only is it normally cheaper at £9.25, but usually quicker c7-10 days!

Local reg officers fit issuing historical Certs around their primary function of registering current births, death, collating the returns for marriages and performing marriages and civil partnerships.

why dont you try funeral directors they may be able to help

Leamington Spa is in warwickshire

Thankyou they ssid it can take 4 to 6 weeks to come through, I have no address of where he was living as we never had contact with him. I tried the oakley wood crem and burial office they hold all records of all big churches around the area but not small churches.

Just posting this here to keep all details on the same thread:

Did you order the death certificate?

What address was he living at on the death cert? If it was a residential address (as opposed to a hospital) he may have been buried/ or cremated at the church/ cemetery/ crematorium local to his address.

My grandmother was my father's adopted mum, and my uncle harold has passed away.

Yvonne - we've been careful not to post the details of Harold as he is likely to be living - although the Philip reference may be relevant, Philip (adopted surname) Martin is amiaannouck's father!

found this birth mother name rimmer its the only phillip g 1951

removed details

? You can order his death certificate from the GRO using the information (place, volume and page number) Gins put up above. (Cost £9.25):

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

His death certificate will tell you his address and who registered the death.

Alternatively you could order his birth certificate on the same site to find out his parents- from this you may be able to find if he had any siblings.

Well I have just rung the registry ofgice in leamington and they have ssid without an exact date and place of his death thry cant help me any further. :-(

Hi pricklyholly he is my grandfather

Hi thankyou he is my grandfather he did marry my grandmother and yes both boys were there sons tgey adopted my father philip george and indeed they lived in singapore as my grandfather was in the forces, yes my grandmother did pass away in 1987 and they did divorce way before I was born in 1973 I also know my grandfather passed away leomington spa, I have no idea if he has any other family in the area or where he was buried.

It's strange as apart from birth for Harold I don't see any other info for a Harold James William, or a Philip George.

The attestation put up by Glitterbaby earlier states that George re-enlisted in 1958.
