Is there anyone who could photograph a gravestone in Trowbridge Cemetery for me?

Findagrave is showing over 3,500 memorials on its site for Trowbridge Cemetery.  Have you tried posting on there.

Do you have the location of the grave, is there definitely a memorial to photograph.
Who is it you are looking for.

Ancestry are showing a newspaper item of her death dated 18.1.1960 in the Bristol Evening Post but I don't have a subscription to Newspapers

She died at 7 Elton Rd Clifton Bristol & left a will

I live quite near this cemetery and could take a photo for you.

I`m having a bit of difficulty locating a grave plan, but will try again tomorrow..
