Camden was the RD & covered others areas.  What was her address at the time of her death?  Have you tried looking for an obit notice which may give details?

Her death was registered Feb 1996.  Have you already contacted the local cemeteries/Crematoria or checked findagrave.com?

Hi CaroleW
Not sure what an Orbit notice is, I've only  found the death today
I tried findagrave but did not seem to have any luck
I might have to get the death cert from GRO
Thanks for your help

Findagrave isn’t a record of burials, it is a record ( often only partial) of memorial inscriptions.

Based on my family members, resident in Camden when they died, I’d start with Islington and Camden Cemetery and Golders Green Crematorium.

Hi JenB
Thank you I'll try that. I've done a lot of birth and marriage research but burial in a new thing for me. My friend's father went to the the funeral but for some reason cannot recall if it was a burial or a cremation (Sigh)
thanks for your help
