Kathleen/Kitty Gore

[Cazza47]

My Great Aunt Kathleen known as Kitty Gore (formerly Routledge) died in november of 1991. She was born in Carlisle to James and Elizabeth Routledge. She was christened on the 9th March 1902 at St Mary's in Carlisle. She married an Ernest Gore in 1945, and he died in 1957. At the time of her death she had been a resident of the Garlands hospital and as far as I know would have no relatives. With these facts could anyone tell me how I might find out where she is buried. Who would have dealt with her death with no relatives evident? The garlands hospital closed some years ago and was replaced by the Carlton Clinic. I believe she would be suffering from dementia although throughout her life, apparently her behaviour was very eccentric.

Ernest seems to have been buried with his first wife, Nellie, in Carlisle Cemetery. http://www.carlisleshistory.co.uk/page8.htm

N.B. This is a gravestone index, not a cemetery index.

Here is the cemetery webpage http://www.carlisle.gov.uk/leisure_and_culture/parks_and_open_spaces/parks_and_open_spaces/carlisle_cemetery.aspx

As I always say, the price of an e-mail is very low.

Don't forget the crem http://www.carlisle.gov.uk/advice_and_benefits/deaths,_funerals__cremations/cemeteries__crematorium/carlisle_cemetery.aspx

Hi

I think they've got the cemetery register in Whitehaven with the other cemetery registers.  With a date like that I'll have a look, though as has been pointed out, it could have been a cremation.

Best wishes

Thank you for that, I had been under the impression that Aunt Kitty was a family friend, I only realised she was related  in the last year. I did not know Ernest was married before. I knew he had a little book shop in Carlisle.

I did not know Ernest was married before.

Hmmmm ... that was a guess on my part - I can find no obvious marriage.  I just notice she died 1944 and he married Kitty in 1945 and ... 2 + 2 = 5.

Nellie was 60 in 1944, Ernest 67 in 1957. 

I think he was from Reading. He had a sister Ellen (11 in 1891) - could that be Nellie?

Hi

The date wou8ld be a huge coincidence if it wasn't him.  There aren't a huge number of Gore's.  I wonbder too whether it's your Ernest and his sister.  A death index would tell us, but I don't thjink you get the age onAncestry without joining.

Looks as if they could have married away so no matrriage is no probblem.

It's him ... he was some sort of bookseller in 1911.  There were over 40 Ernest GOREs in 1911.

If she was a spinster when she died, that's all it would say.

Hi

she was born on the 20th Nov 1901 and was aged 90 when she died..  If you want the death reg details let me know and I'll pm them to you.

As for wanting to know where she is buried you can email Richardson St Cemetary with the details name, date of death and where she died it will be easier for them to search rather than having to trawl through records which is time consumming to them...  I do know that they charge for this service but I think that is if they don't have any details to go on.  Anything is worth a try.

Good luck in your hunting
