Hi
Hoping somebody can help me.
I'm trying to find when my great-grandad William Hartley, born 1855 in Blackburn, Lancashire, died.
The family were always led to believe that he was buried in Salford, however I have the grave rights and have found that he is not in that grave.
Nobody knew when he actually died, but I have managed to narrow it down to between 1932 and 1934 by using electoral registers.
I have used Lancashire BMD and there are several William Hartley's on there, none that I believe are my William Hartley. I have also used lan-opc.org.uk to try and help as they have the records for the cemetery where the rest of his family is buried. There is a William Hartley there that matches the age of mine but I do not believe this is him due to the other people in the grave. I have also looked through newspapers.
Short of ordering lots of certificates, is there anything anybody else can think of that I can look at to perhaps narrow this search down even further.
Thanks in advance.
