Hi Trebor,
Thank you for replying to my post so quickly. I am so pleased you were able to find Tommy's parents' grave for him. I shall follow the advice you have given and hope we will be as fortunate. I will let you know how we get on.
Thanks again and best wishes,
Nigel

Hi Trebor,
I followed your advice and phoned Macclesfield Cemetery and Crematorium. They gave me the answer we were looking for in 30 seconds. Rosetta was cremated there on 24th August 1983. We are 30 years too late but somehow so much closer to her.
Thank you so much for your help.
Very best wishes, Nigel and Heather

Hi Nigel / Heather,

I'm so glad for you Heather / Nigel, it now puts to rest your search & puts your mind at rest, that person that I search for Tommy, the person never ever raised his head, the Community home I worked at no-one ever came to see Tommy, the only time you see their relations is when the pass & then they are there like flies looking if there was any money going, with very little to go on I was determined to find his history & his parents grave, this took a hell of a lot of Google searching, car journeys, I was like a dog with a bone I would not give up, my search was rewarded the day I took Tommy to his Parents grave, although Tommy could not kneel Down I put the flowers on their Grave, I said to Tommy these are your parents Tommy,He raised his head up, looked at me then the headstone, very touching, I'm glad I give you some sort of help, all the best to you both.


                                                          Regards Trebor.
