Title: Carlton Cemetery, Nottingham burial
Post by: mrs.tenacious on Wednesday 02 October 24 15:59 BST (UK)
'Find a Grave' are showing a burial in 1938, who might be my great-grandaunt:

FLORENCE EMILY MARY ALDRIDGE
Birth: UNKNOWN
Death: 17 NOV 1938 (this could be the interment date)
CARLTON CEMETERY, NOTTINGHAM
Plot: SECTION B G2, 34
Memorial ID: 222589265

I cannot find a death registration for her at all.
The last record I found for her is in 1911 when she is 27, Single and working as a Servant (Cook) in a private household in Devon.  I don't think she married.

Does anyone know if I can find either a) the death registration, or b) the parish burial record?

Interesting that there are no known birth details for her.

If this is 'my' Florence, she was born 12 Feb 1883 in St Leonards on Sea, Sussex.

TIA

Looks like she might have been in service in Sussex in 1921.

Brilliant - thank you.
I looked on Freebmd and GRO and got no results  ::)  I can order the death certificate now.  :)

I don't have a FindMyPast sub for the 1921 census, not surprised to hear you can gather she was in service though, as she had been throughout her life. That one will have to wait, methinks.

Thank you so much for your help, it's much appreciated.

Death: 17 NOV 1938 (this could be the interment date)

If you search for her here https://apps.gedling.gov.uk/bacas/search.aspx it confirms that this was the date of interment.
