Title: Hull burial
Post by: Laura468 on Saturday 10 April 21 01:10 BST (UK)

Hi I’m trying to find the burial details for my relative
Hannah Downes died 20 Sept 1920.
I have tried searching familysearch.org but am unable to locate where to actually search the records online.
Thanks

Use https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog

Place name, Hull (choose the one in Yorkshire)

Then click on Cemeteries

Then browse through the images.

Thanks so much I have a map of the cemetery so will go down sometime and see if I can find the grave. Still struggling to search the burial records for myself, do you think it’s because I’m using my phone?

They are quite large pages to view, so yeah, I'd see if a desktop is easier.
