When I worked in a bank, many years ago, one of our customers was called Carey Hunt. Fine if you say it correctly but!!!!!

Durham / Re: Trying to find burial or cremation place for a Maria Charlton
« on: Thursday 09 November 23 04:59 GMT (UK) »Hi Rosie, have checked out and information given is that the ashes were picked up by her nephew (her sisters son), the same person who was the informant on her death certificate and her ashes were scattered in the rememberence area of Altrincham crematorium. So now I know the final resting place and can inform my brother that he was wrong. Of course this poses another question, which funeral did he attend!!!! Many thanks for your assistance. Paul
Many thanks Rosie, yes that is her she was cremated at Altrincham cemetery and her name appears in the book of rememberence there. Whether her ashes were taken to the family in the Newcastle area we will never know as it has been pointed out to me that they weren't placed in her husbands grave. Paul
What information does the register on Deceased online give as to what happened to the ashes

Deceased Online, which doesn't have full nationwide coverage, has a record for a Maria Charlton who died on 10 August 1964 with a ceremony on 13 August, in what is now Greater Manchester. The site includes records from Trafford Council, which includes Altrincham and its crematorium, so that could be worth investigating.
You can't see any more details unless you buy a sub or credits; it looks as though the minimum spend is £5, but that would cover more than one entry.
Deceased online shows this as taking place at a Crematorium
Cremation Register summary
Maria Charlton
Date of death 10th August 1964
cremation date 13 August 1964
location Greater Manchester
If this is your Maria which seems most likely then her ashes could have been scattered anywhere, these records often note whether the ashes were scattered at the Crematorium or taken away and by whom. It may be best to get this record before others spend time trawling records for you

« on: Monday 06 November 23 12:58 GMT (UK) »Here is the grave register at Saltwell, there is no indication of any burial of ashes in the plot in which Robert is interredMany thanks Jen, Tickettyboo has located her, she was cremated at Altrincham cemetery and she appears in the book of rememberence there. Whether her ashes were returned to the NE for family we will never know.

I agree with Rosie that your first move should be to purchase the full record from Deceased Online. Once you know exactly where the cremation took place you can enquire there for possible further details.
If you visit Saltwell again Robert is interred in section 6 plot number 6179. Staff at the Cemetery office might well be able to advise you of the exact position of the grave.
Thank you for advising me of Robert's section and grave number and also that he is buried with his son (from a previous marriage). Over 10 years ago i enquired regarding my G.Grandparents who were buried there. Nothing was online and it was going to cost me 30 pounds per enquiry for them to give me details. I decided to wander around instead and after establishing the area where they would have been buried I walked all around the area (sections 1-5). After about 3 hours and with a dozen gravestones left to read i looked at one and couldn't believe my eyes, found them and their eldest daughter all in one grave. Talk about making my day!!! From memory I know where section 6 is so next time in the UK that is a must visit. Many thanks, I appreciate your assistance. Paul

I think a lot has progressed online since covid, a lot of which I am not aware of as having given it a break for a couple of years and only starting to get back into it again. Much appreciated, Paul
Entry in Book of Remembrance for the Maria Charlton who was cremated at Altrincham Crematorium
https://www.remembrance-books.com/Altrincham/pages/081001l.jpg
Perhaps the birth date would help to ascertain if she is the lady you are looking for?
Boo
I notice on the rememberence notice that it states 'happy memories of our beloved aunt' it was her nephew who was the informant on the death certificate.
Cracking find, Boo

It may not be until December but I will do it in due course when I can.Hi River Tyne Lass, many thanks for that but Boo has found out the information, she was cremated at Altrincham (greater Manchester) and has been placed in the book of rememberence. Whether her ashes came back to family in Gateshead we will not know but they weren't placed in her husbands grave in Saltwell. Thanks again, Paul

« on: Saturday 04 November 23 07:47 GMT (UK) »Definitely not buried with her husband?Thanks Milliepede, I went looking for her husbands grave last time (2019) that I was in Newcastle area (I live in Australia) but was unable to find it so maybe no headstone. Next time in Newcastle will go along to main library and check out the newspapers. Thanks again, Paul
I would suggest looking in local newspapers in case there was a death notice with funeral details.
As you have the exact death date you could ask the crematorium you think it may have been to check their records for her.

Thanks Gadget, will give this a checkout next time in Newcastle. I spent my first 21 years living 5 minutes walk from 'the crem' and both my parents and fathers grandparents were cremated there but no one paid to have their details entered onto the rememberence book. Paul

« on: Saturday 04 November 23 07:22 GMT (UK) »Is it possible that your brother was mistaken, and perhaps remembers someone else's funeral?Thanks Arthur, my brother is 81 so memory can be a bit hazy, however no other deaths in the family at Newcastle area except our grandfather which was 8 years later (neither of these funerals I attended). I thought it strange that a body would be taken back to home town unless requested by family members. I think it best to concentrate on the one you mentioned as date of death is correct. Many thanks, Paul
