Welford Rd look up please
« on: Monday 13 July 09 16:01 BST (UK) »
Is anyone able to do a look up in Welford Rd cemetery for a Claude R Kent? he was born in 1919 in Leicester and married to Doris Jones in 1941.  I cannot find any children for the couple so I wonder if he died early.  I don't know how the cemetery records can be searched but if it is by surname and date I wonder if someone could look for me? sometime between 1941 to present day

Thanks

Greeting’s & Welcome May.

Interments stopped at Welford Road. ….. 1950
Unless they were reuniting persons with relatives already within Welford Road…..

But did check Welford Road out up to 1950 but drew a blank .....

I also checked out another Disc I have for burials up to 1990’s
for other Churches within the City & County but again drew a blank

I have trawled the Death Index records from the G.R.O Site 1941 ~ 1971.
but yet again drew a blank with only two quarters missing …….

Claude did not even  appear on the Roll of Honour
of fallen hero’s of the Armed Forces of Leicester / Shire members……

Have you anyone from your Family Circle to ask if they knew when he died so as to narrow the search down ?

Thank you so much for all the trouble you have taken.

No-one in the family knows what happened to him as far as I can tell.  He was "adopted" out of the family shortly after his birth as his father would not recognise him as his child.  I only heard of his existence recently.  I too have trawled the BMD indexes, I suppose he could still be living but can't find him in any phone books or any children born to him.

There is a possibility he may have emigrated so that may be my next search.

Again thanks for looking.

Best wishes :D
