Thanks Marienne
I don't think the word 'lazy' could ever possibly describe you! :-)
Sorry that the other two were incorrect but they were in the burial register with those refs so I thought they 'may' be the ones required.
The good news is that the info you have from the fiche for the one that was correct is a match for the grave owner I'd managed to find in the Ancestry database and I hadn't found any other burials in that grave, so at least I am starting to understand about how to firkle round these records.
If it helps Jrb01, the Amelia Ryan who is in the burial register as being interred in EX 258G on 09/08/1972, died at Aintree Hospital, aged 41.
I'd looked at the daybook entry for grave purchases 09/08/1972 (not sure what its official title would be) which shows that a James Ryan of 9 Browns Lane, paid £25.50 for grave EX 258G
Her death notice, plus multiple tributes from relatives, in the Echo on 05/08/1972 page 4 col 2, show she was the wife of James Ryan of 9 Browns Lane, she had died in hospital and her maiden name was Baccino (which seems to link to the other requests in his post).
