I am looking for Nellie Barringham B:1889 Pertenhall Beds, she married Frederick C Keens.
I can not find her in Bedford Cemetery.

Thank you

Nellie appears to have married Fred in the 2nd Q of 1906 in St Neots, 3b 705.

Perharps Nellie was buried in the St Neots and not Bedford.

she remarried but I do not know her name she was buried in Bedford around 1940ish.  In around 1914 Frederick left her and went to live in the USA.  I was told that she is buried  near where her grandson Clifford Keens was buried 1938ish.  thats why I can not find  her surname.

Hope someone can find her

So you're asking someone to look for the burial place of someone whose surname you don't know! That's a tall order!

As you live in Bedford and as you have looked for her grave and can't find it, perhaps in the light of what you've just told us about her grandson you need to look for the grave of Clifford Keens?

Have you contacted Bedford Borough Council to see if they have a record of where Clifford Keens is buried? If you go through the GRO indexes which you can find on http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx to find the quarter in which Clifford died you may increase your chances of finding his burial

As David suggests you can use FreeBMD to find death index of Clifford Keens at Bedford RD in March 1938 at age 0; also found his birth index in the same month, name Clifford George Keens.  Get the certificates for more information.

Plus I also found Marriage index of Nellie Keens in Bedford RD in June 1922 vol 3? page 866 - unfortunately the page does not get displayed for us to see the other names. 

As you're in Bedford, why not visit the Registry Office & get them to look it up.   

Regards John also of Bedford 

PS.  do you go to BFHS meetings ?  - it's tonight

You can see the marriage page using the AncestryUK link that I gave (it's not the FreeBMD link John, this one just takes you to the GRO images, not the FreeBMD index) - the other party was George A Stonebridge

The name's right, the timing is as stated by MrsB, but she's 10 years too old. The only way of finding out if it's her is to buy the death certificate

many many thanks.     Bedford Cemetery has her down as Nellie Stonebridge.
