Hi, my grandmother Jessie Alice Bonney lived with my grandfather Thomas Edgar Bonney at 31 West Ella Road, Harlesden, London.  My grandfather died age 40 on 6th January 1925.
I am trying to find out if the house they lived in was rented or if they owned it.  I know at that time, quite a lot of houses especially in London were rented.

I have thought about finding out if my grandfather left a will, as I thought that if the house was owned by them, there would be something regarding it in his will, but am not sure how to find out if he left a will.

The reason I would like to know is that my grandmother moved to 66 College Street, Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire sometime between 1939 and 1945 to be housekeeper for her two distant cousins.  She appears on the London electoral roles in 39 and then appears on the Cleethorpes ones in 1945/6 but as you know, there weren't any electoral rolls taken in the war years.  I thought if she owned the house in London, there would be a record of the sale with the land registry, but obviously not if it was rented.  My brother and I would just like to try and find out when she moved to Cleethorpes. 

Thank you for any help.  I hope I have explained everything properly. 

Hi, I am hoping that someone can help me with a section plan of Scartho Road Cemetery.  I am searching for the grave of Charles Colin Lusby, on behalf of my sister in law who lives in Canada.  Charles Colin was her brother and died on 6th December 1941 age 4 years and was buried on the 10th December 1941.  I have a copy of the burial register which tells me that Charles Colin is buried in section 123, Row C, grave no. 6.

My sister in law told me that he had a wooden cross, which their father used to go and give a coat of varnish, from time to time.  When she mentioned a wooden cross, I thought that there was no way that was still going to be there after 80 years, but I spent 2 hours yesterday looking round the cemetery at as many wooden crosses I could find and I was surprised to find there were still some there from that time and before but sadly not one for Charles.

As I didn't know where section 123 was, I am not sure that I was looking in the right place, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Diana

Hi, I hope this isn't an inappropriate request.  If it is, please delete it.  I would like to know the title of a military march, the notes of which, I have attached below.  I am hoping that someone who has played in a military band might recognise it.

Thank you very much in advance.

Many thanks to you both for your help.
