Can anyone help decipher what the following abbreviations mean on a Register of Cremations under "how ashes were disposed of"?
"G/R" (also recorded as "G of R")
"1 WTS"
"2 WTS"
"IETL"
I've tried dozens of different Google searches and I cannot find any reference!
Thanks

I would suggest asking the Crematorium itself or a local one to you if that one is no more.
What year(s) is it from?
Just guessing but GR could be given to relatives.
WT - with the?
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

I have two records from the same crematorium, one from 1952, one from 1958. I have sent a query in to the crematorium but I am guessing they will not answer quickly and I really need an answer on this by the end of the weekend.
Thanks

Thanks Andy J2022! That makes sense.
I wonder if the 1WTS or 2WTS comment narrows that down to a section somehow?

IETL is 1 ETL.
