Right - I've just rung the number I gave you (above) and asked the following question.
"If someone died in 1935 and lived on Hessle Road, where would they have been buried?" and was given the answer...'either in Western Cemetery (Chanterlands Ave/Spring Bank) or the Northern Cemetery (Chanterlands Ave)'

So, your G Granddad could well be safe and sound in either of these two places.

Northern is where we found my OH's Granddad recently and we'd understood him to be elsewhere, so don;t give up yet!

Does their wedding certificate give you no information about his job or whatever? That might be an avenue to go down...
Also, as we have recently learned - being buried in the nearest cemetery doesn't always happen x

Lizzie, do you know where it is? I might be able to at least find out if it's still there...

Or you can ring them - 01482 614975
Bereavement Services, based at the crematorium (these are the people who helped me find when he'd died, and even where the plot is)

Is this the site of the current castle Hill hospital?
I haven't lived in Hull long enough to know where everything is, you see.

Yeah, I was planning to do that, but just wondered if anyone had any info on here.

See, the OH's granddad father was working in an Oil Mill, (which we think of getting the oil from rapeseed and the like) so...dusty work..
I'm just wondering if there's anything in that x

The guy we've found who was there is my OH's granddad who died from TB in 1942, aged 37 - stupidly young, isn't it?
What sort of work was your Granddad in? Just wondering if it made any difference...
