Hi
I am looking for any info on the above.
I believe she was born in the Stoke area? Sadley Christine died in the 1985 Manchester air disaster.
I'm desperately trying to find any information, especially her place of rest.
Many thanks. :)

Have you tried local newspapers, they must have covered the incident extensively.
-
Her birth was registered in Richmond North Yorkshire Sept. qtr 1964.
Probate records gives her address as 2 Leacroft Road Meir Stoke on Trent.
So Stoke on Trent newspapers are the way forward.
-
There are newspaper snippets from the Staffordshire Sentinental about the inquest in 1986.
This might be the paper now https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/

There are several newspaper reports about this on the british newspaper archives. Christine is referred to as Amanda. Very sad tale, the holiday to Corfu was a 21st birthday present to Amanda from her fiance Paul Forrester. he sadly died as well.
-
I have found the death notice for her father, he died in 1989. He was cremated at Carmountside crematorium Stoke. It's possible Christine was cremated here as well.

Thank you all for the information provided.
It is such a very sad story about the plane crash and I just also read that both Amanda and Paul bought the last 2 tickets on that flight.
It is so so very sad.
I have emailed Carmountside Cemetery to find if Amanda is buried was cremated there.
Once again, thanks for your help and if anyone finds any further information that would be great.
Best wishes, Jules
