Hello,
Looking for help in tracing any information regarding my great uncle James Wilson Burns who died at Harrington Lodge Nursing Home, Kettering, Northamptonshire on 21 April 1988. The death certificate says to be cremated, no family members listed. James is my grandmother's half brother and would be thankful for any leads or information. Thank you very much, BBaxter

Thank you CaroleW, I apologize for the typo in my first post. My great uncle James Wilson Burns died in 1998. My last trace of him living is in 1939 at 2 Wellington Street in Kettering. Seems like he didn't leave a will and can't find any marriage or children records. Had no luck with an obit. Seems sad he may have died alone in the nursing home. Thank you for your help, BBaxter
