What is his connection to you?

It is all the information I have.

Where is your information from? Have you contacted Shorncliffe for more info?

The CWGC does NOT list him in this cemetery. You can easily check this for yourself online.
You need to check your information source - perhaps his name or burial place is not quite right, or his burial is missing. Since you are completely unaware of any date or year or century for his death, searching is rather a waste of time.

Hi Neale1961
Maddys52 found him.
For your information, Shorncliffe is an MOD Cemetery not a CWGC Cemetery.

FYI, I didn’t say it was. Perhaps you should read the post more thoughtfully.

FYI An update, There are over 2,000 graves in Shorncliffe Cemetery. So occasionally I get a bit overwhelmed. I knew he wasn't on the CWGC list, but thanks anyway. There is one grave in the cemetery which I think should be on their list but isn't, this person is commemorated elsewhere.

Stamford Mercury 12th January 1979

The inquest is reported on 19th January. It is distressing.
