Hi
There are alot of images of the burial registers on familysearch but unfortunately, the Greenacres ones go up to 1939 and then there is a big gap. There are grave registers on the site but you would need to look through them all to see who bought the grave.
I can't find him or his parents on the www.oldham.gov website. There is an Annie Travis - possibly his wife buried in Greenacres but she is alone in a new grave.

If you go to www.twgpp.org The War Graves Photgraphic Project and then search for John William Travis you will find they have a photo of the grave and you can then order a copy.

This grave was purchased by Margaret Travis - 5th April 1939 - address is blanked out
and contains 4 burials
Sorry no names, have not been wrote into the books
1/ 5th April 1939 aged 82
2/ 4th May 1940 aged 37
3/ 6th June 1950 aged 85
4/ 25th Feb 1956 aged 66
From Jan 1939 to April 1993 all the registers are missing - as for the grave location it should not be to hard to find as it is running against a boundary wall next to Clarksefield Street according to the plot plan, if any Oldhamers feel the need to help Mark
