Fantastic Sandra !!!
I knew that once we had the right name, we could find out a heap more.
Now I can search for the death of Rena Billingham.
I'll post my findings plus a bit more information about Rena's background and my involvement in due course,
Thanks again,
Ken

Thanks for all that Sandra.
I saw the photo of Anthony Billingham's grave. Strange that Rena is not mentioned.
I tried a search for her grave but nothing came up.
She died at Baldwin, Georgia so you'd think she would be buried with her husband.
Perhaps only veterans are buried at Marietta.

You can read more about Rena at the site 'thepeerage', as her 3rd. husband was an English lord. Anyone interested can look up that site.

Sandra, I still can't believe how fast that went, I got a flood of information within minutes of my initial enquiry. And I had put it off for a couple of years.

But I can't find Rena's grave.  Why wasn't she buried with her husband ? Maybe she was, but nobody was left to add her name to the gravestone ?? Or maybe she's buried somewhere else. Perhaps that cemetery is only for veterans.

Do you have any suggestions for finding her grave ? I started to search some of the cemeteries  but there must be thousands of them in Georgia.

There is a death for a Rena Billingham born 1899 and aged 66 years who died Baldwin Georgia. County of residence - DeKalb.  Passed away 21 August 1965 - this would need further investigation.

Rena passed away after Anthony so a possibility she could be buried with him. She would have been an eligible family member.  Worth contacting them to check whether she is buried with Anthony.  Sorry I didn't see an e-mail address listed

You said Rena was aged 6 years. I guess you mean 66 years.
