I first posted this thread in March and am no further ahead.

I am trying to locate a burial site for my maternal grandmother.
A bit of background:
Pauline (Polly) ALBEITMAN was born in 1907 (Jan-Mar quarter) in London. Pauline married Richard INGRAM in August 1926. They had two children, Sheila and John. Sadly, Pauline died in Nov 1933. In 1936 Richard married Eva ALBEITMAN (Pauline's elder sister). I discovered today, they had a Civil Ceremony(Kensington) and then a Ceremony at the West Lodon Synagogue. They retired to Kent and both are buried there.

I know Pauline died at home (10 Dordrecht Rd, Acton) per her death certificate. I have been emailing various Councils (in the area ) about burial records, but with no luck.

I now have a marriage certificate for Pauline and Richard. It appears they had a Civil Ceremony at the Hammersmith Registry Office. I note Pauline has fudged her age, stating she was 22. By my reckoning, she was actually 18/19ish. I figure from dates that she was expecting my Mum. I was hoping the marriage record would provide a Church or Parish whose records I could check.

I am now at a total loss as to where next to proceed. Pauline must be buried (cremated) somewhere...?

Paulines parents and other siblings are all buried in Jewish Cemeteries around London. I have not been able to find a record for Pauline.

I am accompanying my 83yr old Mum to the UK in July and would dearly love to 'find' Pauline for my Mum's sake. She has never known anything of her Mum at all.

If anyone has managed to plough there way through this long thread, I THANK you, if anyone can help me in anyway or provide any search hints , I will be sincerely grateful.

Cheers,
Susan
