I'm looking for the place of burial of James Ian Reynolds. His parents lived in Canterbury, Kent.

Thanks in advance FARELF

I don't think I will be able to help, but to save the other responders the trouble -

Do you know where he died? It will probably help find the burial place. Or where others in the family are buried, if in NI.

The death record will be available soon  - 50 years after the date - at https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/.
The index of the record will be free - at least they always have been.

I don't know the time limits for the NI will index - someone else might.

He died in Ebrington Barracks in Londonderry.
His Probate gives an address of 7 Chilton Gdns Ash Canterbury.

Lots of reports of his death of alcoholic poisoning after drinking a cocktails of drinks while celebrating on his 22nd birthday in the papers but I can see no mention of his burial or cremation.

His body would most likely have been returned to his family in Canterbury for burial or cremation
