Title: Tom Frederick Wild - Which Cemetery?
Post by: eileen? on Saturday 27 July 13 19:34 BST (UK)

Hi,

I'm trying to locate the burial place of Tom Frederick Wild d. 1953 and his wife Elsie Birkinshaw Wild d. 1955 in Rotherham.
I have looked for their death notice in newspapers in the hope that the cemetery would be mentioned but so far I am unable to find anything.

Any help would be great

Eileen

Hi

Exactly whereabouts in Rotherham did they live as the Rotherham RD covered a large area

Hi,
Their address at time of death was,   1 Danum Drive, Rotherham.  Probate Record was 'Wakefield'.  Denomination: Church of England.

Thanks so much for your help as I am not familiar with the Registration Districts of England.

Hi Eileen,

I'm afraid my reply isn't a great deal of help, but I wonder if anything on this link might help :

http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/info/335/funeral-records/920/grave_searches

There's a telephone number to the left of the page - if all else fails I think I'd be tempted to phone them to ask their advice.

Kind regards,

Pels.

Hi Pels,
Brilliant, thanks for the link, I will phone them tomorrow. I have searched British Newspapers online, with no result.  I am unsure if Tom Frederick was known as Tom or Frederick.  He also ran/owned the Rising Sun Inn, Abbey Lane in Rotherham for many years.  I have searched for that address too but again nothing shows up.
Thanks for your help
Eileen
