British lady buried in Hannover

[GfL]

Hello everyone,

I want to get a death certificate for a British lady buried in a German cemetery and not sure of the best way to go about it.

She is a civilian buried in:
Hannover Military Cemetery which is also known as
British Military Cemetery Limmer,
Seelze, Region Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany

Any help/tips would be appreciated.

Thank you

Have you looked to see whether the death is mentioned on the GRO overseas deaths indexes.

Hi Rosie,

[Ashtone]

Have you checked FindMyPast yet?
There are some 1960s death indices in Hanover.
British Armed Forces and Overseas Deaths and Burials collection

FindMyPast appear to have a database for British Nationals who died overseas  1818 - 2005.  Are you prepared to give a name in case someone can find something for you.

Hi Rosie,
Think I was wrong when I said the year 1963 wasn't in the period covered as I saw something saying British Army personnel and their family members up to 1965.

The details I have are

Myra J Wraight
BIRTH 1937
DEATH 16 Mar 1963
BURIAL
Hanover Military Cemetery
Seelze, Region Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany
PLOT
