Grace Sarah Harrison
« on: Tuesday 16 July 24 21:17 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out more about my great great aunt Sarah Grace Harrison’s life as a headmistress in Folkestone Kent .She was born in Bradford 1868 and passed in Folkestone in 1955.She was headmistress at St Mary’s in Dover Road and never married.I can’t find were she was buried the local council could not find any records of her.I have contacted the new St Mary’s school which has some links with the old school but they never responded.I also contacted a local history group asking for information but they haven’t responded either,any information would be greatly appreciated

If she changed the order of her names, could that be why they couldn't find any burial records under the name you gave them?

What address was given on her death certificate?

Perhaps try looking for the nearest cemetery or crematorium to her address and contact them to see if they can help.
