Appreciate this is a long shot and that Rugby is a large area but I was wondering if anyone had access to records or details and could kindly carry out a burial Look Up for me please.
The only information I have at present is that Jane Giles died in the June quarter of 1977 in the Rugby district. FreeBMD is quoting reference number 31 313.
Many thanks in advance for all offers of help ;)

Many sincere thanks Cas for taking the time to research on my behalf before posting your findings.
Unfortunately I do not have a subscription to any geneology websites. If I get information I usually pop to my local library to use their edition of FindMyPast to download copies of records.
Would still be interested to find out about a burial for her though if anyone can help.
Thankyou very much Cas.

If nobody pops in with access to newspapers, ask at your library if there is access there, along with FindMyPast

I checked that date for the newspaper entry as its unlikely to have been published the day 'before' she died and it was published 10th June

Many thanks Boo for your reply and the link ;D
Never seen that website before, so I have bookmarked it just in case I need it for another ancestor at a later date ;)
The entry also confirms she was reunited with her husband too, something I was not aware of.

If I have the crematorium name then a web search for the name plus online book of remembrance will often bring up that particular book.
I meant to look for a notice of death for William but got side tracked, so have now found one
https://www.newspapers.com/article/leicester-mercury-wh-giles/177066568/
and though the B-O-R 'says' he died 21 April 1974, the newspaper says 25th April.
I tried a free search on Deceased Online (which has cremation registers for Gilroes) and the index result also says he died 25th April 1974 and was cremated 1st May
So either whoever paid for the entry gave the wrong date or the B-O-R scribe entered it incorrectly and no one in the family noticed.

Sorry for putting the wrong newspaper date I must have been reading with tired eyes.
Thank you for correcting it Boo, also thanks for the website I don't think I've seen that before.
