Geraldine is the obvious one to look at........................

Thank you Gwyn, its now on to find Julie Daly and any living relatives.

I appreciate the support and guidance of this thread, it has been an overwhelming 24 hours.

Robert
I'm pleased for you that you have been able to obtain more information about your father.

Update 2

Bournemouth crematorium have been really helpful, they have just confirmed that my father was cremated on 3rd March 1993 at Bournemouth crematorium.

His ashes were sent to Anfield Liverpool at the request of his partner Sandra Morley.

I have sent a contact us request earlier and will look to schedule a call to them in-between meetings this afternoon.

As mentioned the coroner has provided their report which was really helpful and allows me to understand the circumstances of my fathers death. Hopefully I can find where he has been laid to rest.

Have you contacted Bournemouth Council?

In the past, I have had very useful telephone conversations.
Many areas have digital lists, especially for deaths in the last 30 years or so and will look up information.
Some charge, some don't.

There will be records for Bournemouth newspapers in the main library, and at the County Records Office

Kathleen and her husband had 4 children - find their births on freebmd

I was searching yesterday the Liverpool echo death notices week commencing 15th February 1993 via British newspaper archive - I haven't found anything yet, this is a manual process using up credits to view pages of the archive.

I don't believe there is an archive for any local news papers in Bournemouth for that era.

Have you looked for a death notice for your father in the press?

If there's one, it may give funeral info

As you know the names of your Aunts, you should follow-through on them.

Geraldine is on the ER to 2012 . The address has not been sold according to Zoopla

You can easily find her marriage on freebmd........and her children's names

Update*

I had requested information back in 2007 - frustratingly I did not have "follow thread" setting to show any responses.
It appears Julie Daly who would be my cousin responded, heartbreakingly I did not know about this until yesterday when making new efforts to find information on my father.

I now know his birth details and death details inclusive of Coroner report.

I am also aware of his sister names Pat, Margaret, Kathleen and Geraldine.

I know from the original posting response that Kathleen is deceased, I don't know about the others.

I am hoping to achieve understanding of my fathers final resting place - don't know if its burial or cremation. It would be nice to establish any living family members.

Finally nobody is as frustrated with themselves as I am, losing the opportunity to chat with Julie Daly back in 2008.

Thank you for your help, kind words and encouragement <3

Hadn’t seen the other thread when I posted ;-)

The poster’s birth is registered with MMN of the woman the father married

Says partner but not wife on the other thread

The Shirley referred too was the wife and then mother of the poster

Previous thread here:

Your cousin responded but seeing as it's 13 years ago, she's no longer a member.

Shirley says he doesn’t appear to have re-married - I would have said there was a chance that he did, but the cert is the only way to prove it’s the same man

Have you asked the local council if they have a record of his burial / cremation?

They have a 'Contact us' link............
