Title: Albert James Hibbard
Post by: sarah e on Tuesday 09 October 07 16:05 BST (UK)

I am wondering if someone could do a look up for this guy in the BMD/Parish records. He was bn 1896 in Woolwich, London and died (I Think) 1937 in Fife Hospital, Fife. He was a marine stoker based with his family in Gosport, Hampshire. I assume he died in Scotland whilst drafted to a ship of some sort.

Many regards, Sarah

Hi Sarah

The nearest I can find on Scotlands People is an Alfred Hibbard, who died 1937 in Dunfermline, Fife, aged 41. Would that be him?

That is definately my guy. Now I wonder, would he be buried up there. Or down here. I know it's cheeky but your advice on this would be helpful. I am going to assume he was buried up there. Where do you suppose that would be?

many regards, Sarah

If he was buried in Dunfermline, it might be worth checking this:

PS - if you're not familiar with Scots terminology - a lair is the burial plot

Hi Sarah,

I haven't been on RootsChat for ages.  I'm only here by chance as I was googling my Alfred James Hibbard born 18/07/1896.  Died Feb 1837.  He is buried in Anne's Hill Cemetary Gosport with his wife Dorothy.
