Middlesbrough Cemeteries

[bombergirl]

Hi I am trying to find where my uncle John A O'hara might  be buried in Middlesbrough. He died in 1936 aged 6 and was at the time living in Ernest Street Middlesbrough. I know he had been in hospital at the time of his death but not sure which one. There is a death certificate at the middlesbrough office, so I know this is when he died.....even my mum doesn't know where he was buried. Can anyone help at all ?

Bombergirl - this is the cemeteries and cremation page taken from middlesbrough councils website .
as long as you have the name(s) and death date(s) of the person/people in question , they should be able to tell you if the person /people is buried in any of their cemeteries.
if they are , they should be able to tell you which cemetery , and give you a grave number.

no worries bombergirl.
i work in cemeteries (not in middlesbrough) , and i know that our office staff are very obliging .
how we do it - is like i said , the office staff check it out on database , and depending what ppl want - they either send out all the details , plus a plan of the cemetery with directions to find the grave (in case the ppl wanna come while the cemetery staff are not present) , or they arrange for the cemetery staff to meet with them and locate the grave.
if (as in your case) there isn't much chance of a visit , we normally photograph the gravestone (if there is one) and send it on to said ppl.

Middlesbrough staff are very obliging and will put out a grave marker if you ask them to but I've not heard of them going with you, they are extremely busy.  They will give you a detailed plan.  It's usually Ecneps, Nutty and me that go to find them for people

Thanks again diggaman .I will email the council department and see if they can locate where might be buried.

thanks for that info Madpants. If I can locate the place where he was buried I might ask for your help with a photo at some stage , if it is not too much trouble .

No problem at all bombergirl, we like nothing better than a walk around a graveyard
