Hello Orielbenfro

The grave is listed on this website as having a headstone, John William Stewart grandson of WH Denham    http://www.rootschat.com/links/0bmi/

I have telephoned the Crematorium office who say that the grave is there but that there does not seem to be a headstone.   I will go and have a look sometime this week, and will take a photograph for you if I find there is a headstone still there.

Kind regards
Barbara

That would be most kind and well appreicated. There should be a CWGC headstone since he died during the W.W. 2whilst on active service, albeit that he died in a road tfc accident whilst testing a Morris 8 hp van.
Mni tks in advance.

Yes his grave is still there, but I couldn't find it in the X-section.  That part of the cemetery is given over to baby graves. 

I have telephoned the Crematorium office who say that the grave is there but that there does not seem to be a headstone. 

Today I have phoned the cemetery office again, and there has been some confusion, apparently there is another section with exactly the same numbers, and the grave is in the secion across the path from where I looked.  The office are going to mark the grave on a detailed plan, when I have collected that I will go and search again.

Have visited the cemetery again and found the grave, but there is no CWGC headstone, just the family headstone for the Denhams, with John William Stewart's name at the bottom.

Please pm me your email address if you would like copies of the photos I took

Hi.
Can someone please look up a grave listing for Eliza Jane Slee who died between 1874 and 1881 in Middlesbrough.                                                    Looks like she is missing from the BMD index.

Greatfull Thanks

Downswilliam.

Unfortunately it is very difficult to find a grave without the death cert or even a rough idea of when they died.  If you ring middlesbrough they like to know the date of death so they can find it in the records.  As far as I know they are not computerised and the ladies in the cemetery office have to look in the ledgers of the time, a broad search of those dates would not be possible.

Hi all,

I recently got the plot number for my husband's great grandfather who was buried at Linthorpe Cemetery in April 1937.  We both went down there today to have a look but sadly there doesn't appear to be a headstone.  Just to double check things.  The number given to me was 9091A.  We found 9087-88 written on one headstone, next to that was 9089 but then there was a large space before there were a few others. 

Am I right in thinking that the grave sites run in sequence and that the grave I'm looking for would be approx. two strides to the right of 9089? 

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but just wanted to make sure.  Thanks.
