:) Hi there,
First of all a happy New Year!
Is there anyone who could help me?
I'm doing research about the fallen airmen in my native town Kaggevinne.
I'm even writing a book about this event. It's my second.
I found out that somewhere in the cemetery of Hertford, on the grave of a family named Garrod, there must be a plaque commemorating Ralph's Garrod’s death on the family grave, and it refers to him being buried in Kaggevinne (Belgium). Is there anyone of yours who can take some picture of this memorial plaque? On a high resolution and of a good quality? It is to illustrate my book with. I mentioned your name there. Give credit where credit is due.

1917 Garrod Florence E age 43
1932 Garrod Isobel age 0
1944 Garrod John age 74

I assume this is who you are referring to
RALPH FREDERICK GARROD Flight Sergeant 1331174
Thursday, June 24, 1943
Age 31
KAGGEVINNE COMMUNAL CEMETERY
VIEW RECORD
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
United Kingdom
His birth
Dec qtr 1911
Garrod Ralph F mmn Rowe
Hertford reg district 3a 1463
-
Presumably his parents marriage which would tie in with the 1917 death in Hertford registration district of Florence E Garrod age 43 :)
Marriage June qtr 1905
GARROD Arthur Frederick
ROW Florence Elizabeth
Hertford 3a 1205
The marriage was at St Andrews, Hertford
I would think that all we need now is the location Of Florences grave :)

Thank you Rosie99.
You're right. He is the son of Arthur Frederick Garrod and Florence Elisabeth Garrod (nee Rowe) of Hertford.
Unfortunately, i don't know about his grave at Hertford . :-\

It may be worth contacting the church where his parents married to see if his mother is buried there. You really need a location for the grave before asking someone to take a photo. Sorry I am not local or I would go and look for you.
-
Thank you Rosie 99.
I also think that this will be the best.
I appreciate this.
Regards,
Luc

As far as I can see, they would be married at St Leonard's, Shoreditch.
But his cousin told me in a letter that they were buried in the cemetery of Hertford.

Florence is buried in St Andrew Hertford the burial register is on Find my Past. I live nowhere near do cannot help with a photo.

"The church holds a record by name of people buried in St Andrew’s Cemetery, in most cases with plot numbers, but there is not, for most of the Cemetery, any plan linking them with an area on the ground. Nor does the Town Council have a plot map for the St Andrew’s Cemetery. However, Cemetery staff are often able to identify monuments."

I visit occasionally, as it's a nice town. Will get back to you if I'm able to help further, unless anyone else pitches in first.

It looks like he is memorialised inside St Andrew's church as well:
