Sorry for the multiple replies - still getting the hang of this. Do you have the link to that Ancestery tree please? I have tried searching on Ancestry to no avail

Thank you for your reply - I have a copy of her death certificate with the address she was living at, and then Freereg has the following entry with matching name, age and address https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/5a34b23df493fd6f7f193927/elsie-may-page-burial-staffordshire-west-bromwich-1936-06-11?locale=en

She may be in a public grave, but I don't know for certain. There is something slightly strange about her burial in that her father and brother who predeceased her (1923 and 1916 respectively) are buried together in Tipton Cemetery along with her mother (who died 1969). I have no idea why she is not with them, and my understanding that some falling out between my great grandfather and his brother (Elsie's father) long ago meant any contact between the two branches has long been lost. The size and condition of the gravesite in Tipton suggests the family had the means to pay for an individual plot so it would seem harsh for her to be the only member without a grave, but I am only speculating there.

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I know for certain that a relative of mine, Elsie May Page (1919-1936), was buried in All Saints' Church graveyard in 1936 but I cannot locate her grave. The rest of her family are buried in Tipton Cemetery. I have visited the site but there are far more graves there than I expected and have not had enough time to search them all. I'm hoping somebody knows or can point me in the right direction to where she may be buried. I know there is a transcript of all the graves that can be purchased, but as far as I am aware she is the only connection I have so it seems a bit daft to spend money getting 1500 names when I only need 1!

Thank you in advance for your help.
