1867 death is more likely to have been a burial at a local churchyard

the council may not hold those records but may be able to suggest who holds parish records

Yes they put a marker down for me so I could lay flowers, Iv just emailed them to see if they can locate the cemetery and grave based on a date and place of death only. I cant imagine that anyone had been to there grave site since 1867 so it was nice to go and pay my respects, after all I wouldnt be here without them :-)

Yes they can do it from just the death cert details

I did it for a death in 1921 medway area and they were able very quickly to tell me where and when buried and was a public grave no markers .

They even marked the plot for me at the cemetery so I could take a picture

I was looking on behalf of her grandson whose father had been a bhc to Canada and didn’t know what happened to the parents

We had a family connection through the mums side which was how the contact was made

I found the council very helpful

Thanks Shirley, yes I have recently had to pay the £30 search fee with the local authorities to find a grave but im not sure they could do it without know the actual cemetery. I may gave them a call. Thanks

It may be the burial records aren’t online

Not found many for my ancestors

What I have done before is to get the death certificate and then contact the parks and cemeteries dept of the local council giving them the details from the cert

Was done free in the past but most now charge a search fee

At the present time though it’s possible not many staff are working

Im really struggling with trying to finf the burial/church location for my ancestors. I am using FREEREG,FREECEN and FREEBMD as well as the searches on this site but im having no luck, please help.
