Title: Death in Malpas
Post by: bubblejack on Monday 23 August 10 23:10 BST (UK)

I have been researching Dorothy Yates. She was born in Holt by Farndon as Dorothy Candeland in 1887 married and lived in Wallasey. Returned to Farndon to live after her Husbands death and was there until at least the middle 1960's. I contacted the vicar in Farndon who very kindly found out for me that she died in Malpas (although how she ended up there is anyones guess!)

How do I find out where she was buried in Malpas? any help gratefully received.

Regards

Gaynor

Thank you for looking. The vicar didn't say how he got the information for me so I'll presume that this is the same one. I do a lot of presuming!!

Thanks

Hi

Don't forget that a death is registered where it occurred not necessarily where the person lived. Also, if she was indeed living in Malpas it doesn't mean she was buried there, was she a widow? If so, where did her husband die?
