It will be hard to find a burial not knowing which area they died in.

Hi

Finding a burial entry in a church register can be done in earlier 19th century registers  but is hard as not knowing which district, parish, town or village hamlet. If your lucky MI's can be transcribed. By the 1900's (20th century) most parish registers were kept by the church archives with no transcription or film record (Few were)

By the 1960s the most likely will be grave records & location plot maps or cremation remembrance books but these where kept by each cemetery or crematorium administration but which!

You don't give any idea of location in West Yorkshire or if buried or cremated  or even buried at sea.

Total impossible task! without more info.

The only Ida Muir 1936 was

Deaths Sep 1936   
 
Muir  Ida E  aged 37  Knaresbro'  9a 116

Local Newspapers death entries may be the best starting point but again where! which hamlet, village, town or city






In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

registration district claro

yorkshire west riding

anne j muir

feb march 1960

registration district claro

yorkshire west riding

they lived in harrogate, so i assumed stonefall cemetary


as for ida elizabeth muir nee blakeborough she died in knaresborough the cemetary was just around the corner from where she lived, is there one called park cemetary? i did have its name from a news article from 1936 july aug sept

would this info help narrow the search, does the libray in harrogate have a good resources?
