« on: Tuesday 04 October 11 06:52 BST (UK) »
I live in Melbourne Australia and would like to know if there is a grave site number or photo of the headstone for George O'Neil who died 13 Nov 1935. He was buried at Heaton Cemetery Bolton on the 16 Nov 1935.

Regards Peter

Any help would be appreciated

A note here says that Alderman George O'Neil, Labour, of 14 Inverlael Avenue died on the date you write about aged 56, when he was about to become the mayor.  Born 1879.

However in the Salesian College magazine of 1934, it is reported that a 17 year old former pupil who was the son of a town Alderman, died tragically under the wheels of a steam wagon in October 1932 in Bolton, having been blown from his bicycle in a gale.
That's obviously his son.  Perhaps they're buried together?
