Title: Wilford Hill
Post by: wildsam38 on Wednesday 10 October 12 20:17 BST (UK)

Hi,

I have just found out that my great great grandad is buried at Wilford Hill according to the will as just got it.

I am wondering if there is any search for this to find the grave.

His name is Elijah Sleath, died on 26th July 1940.

I would be most grateful of any help or information or advice.

Look forward to your replies.

Sam

you would need to contact the nearest libary that holds burials records

Hi there

You could send an e mail to cemetaries@nottinghamcity.gov.uk
and see if someone will give you a map where the grave is.
You have the name and date of death which is what they require.
If they dont give you the information free I think it costs £25
which is a shame I know.  Hope because you have the info that
it will be free for you

regards Sandymc

p.s. It will be Nottingham Library just off Market Square they are always
helpful.
