Hi, sorry for the delay in coming back to you.

The Ancestry tree is incorrect with regard to Stephen's parents (Clifford & Hilda) - my sister created that but the dates don't add up and afawk there are no connections to America.

Stephen had 2 brothers - Frank and Peter.

He was married to Vera Jablonsky (my mum's mum who has died) but they divorced and he subsequently married Elsie Davies in 1973.

@kloumann - I think you may have the correct Stephen/Mary E Rice as last night we found a photo of a gravestone. I can't upload for some reason, but it says

Mary Ellen Murray
The beloved wife of Stephen
Died 23rd March 1968(?)
Aged 83(?) years.

Welcome to Rootschat

How do you know he was buried rather than cremated?

Hi. My mum said he was definitely buried, possibly with his parents. My mum had a severe stroke so cannot remember any other information, not even her grandparents' names, unfortunately.

As for Elsie, I don't know! I'm really sorry, my mum became estranged from her after Stephen's death (she was his 2nd wife and my mum's step-mother) and didn't stay in touch with her at all.

I'm sorry for starting a topic with such vagueness :(

Hi, I hope you may be able to help, although I appreciate it may be difficult!

I am trying to track the burial location of my grandfather, Stephen Paul Murray, born 10/04/25 and who died 26/12/79. The only info I can find is that his death was registered in Barton. He lived in the Eccles/Salford area, but I don't know the address. His wife was called Elsie Murray.

I've checked Deceased Online but there's nothing there.

I know that's not much to go on, but if you have any pointers as to where I should look next, I would be eternally grateful  :)
