Hi,
Herbert Thomas Bullett, DOB 14 Oct 1902.
Is buried at All Saint, Beyton, Suffolk in 1970.
DOD 28 Jul 1970.
The family was very very poor at the time (now just normal amount of poor lolll :D )
Anyways, the grave was unmarked... or only marked by a small wooden cross that would have definitely weathered and no longer be there 52 years later.
Seeing as it is just over 50 years I am not even sure if the graves lease will have expired or not. Being as poor as they were we was very surprised he was even buried in the first place, and may have had the shortest lease available (10 years?).
He's only child, Frederick Bullett died in 1992, so cannot be asked for details, and Fred's widow Irene died in 2018... She did however remember a rough location, and the story of no headstone, and just being marked by the wooden cross.
Right.. getting to the point now...
How would one find the exact grave location/details?
Can anyone here look them up for me?
Would they be available online at all?
Or would I need to speak to the Church(All Saint, Beyton) direct? Or would the records be with Suffolk Archives now due to the age?
I am wondering if the Church (or myself or someone else) could look up their records from 1970, and with that and the rough location I have an exact grave could be worked out?
But I do not know where or how to start, I think an email to the church (but it is "Vicarless" at the moment and wouldn't be sure who to contact) should be the first port of call.
But I just wanted to make sure there isn't a way I can do this, or buy the records online without having to bother anyone at the Church?
Thank you

Welcome to RootsChat!
My advice would be to "grasp the bull by the horns" and contact the church - nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Good luck
