Post by: gnorman on Thursday 13 June 19 21:31 BST (UK)

Hi, I have a relative called Charlotte Morris b.25.08.1891 and d.Sept 1969 - her husband, Frank Morris died in 1949 in Sheffield but I cannot locate a grave there. Can anyone help with locating Charlottes grave please?
Thanks, Luke

If she died in 1969 the chances are that she was cremated rather than buried.

Death registration
Deaths Sep 1969 
MORRIS    Charlotte    25AU1891    Wortley    2d   1603

Have you looked at local newspapers from the time? Death notices often state where funeral is to be held & where to be buried/cremated. Scanned newspapers are available on findmypast or British Newspaper Archive though 1969 may be too recent. A main library [probably Sheffield] will have all published copies.

ADDED:She died 10 October at 22 Hey Road according to the Long Eaton Advertiser of 17 October.

That's great plk74, thank you. That is both parents and their only daughter. You've really helped a lot here.

Cheers, Luke
