Title: Clara Wilson burial
Post by: zetlander on Thursday 25 September 25 12:45 BST (UK)
Clara Wilson died in Rotherham M1/4 1958 age 78.

She was the widow of one George William Wilson (b1859) who died in Oct 1930 - he is buried in Hough Rd Cemetery Rawmarsh but Clara not with him.
 I have possibly got the wrong George William Wilson ???

Rotherham Cemeteries very helpful - but they had no luck finding Clara.  Thank-you.

Have you tried the newspapers for her death notice or obituary?

Perhaps she was cremated.

amondg - thanks.

It seems odd that Clara and George seem not have been buried together.
