Robert Cyril Layton Perkins (1866-1955) Bovey Tracey.

[calidris]

The well know explorer of Hawaii, Robert Cyril Layton Perkins (1866-1955), born on 15 November 1866, died on 29 September 1955, aged 88 in Bovey Tracey. However, me and others searched, but we drew a blank if there is a still existing grave from him. I will travel from The Netherlands to the UK in June and I would like to visit his grave if possible. Any help is very welcome.

Have you checked for an obituary notice

If nothing can be found you may want to consider contacting the Devon FHS society.  Given he was so well known they may be able to help
 

[calidris]

Can't find so far nothing, also people who did research before me, could not find anything. But I might be not so trained as the people here.

Just added a bit to my reply above before I saw your reply

[calidris]

Thanks Carole, I will do so (will contact them).

Have you established where his wife Clara was buried

She left a will which could give that information.   Do you have R.C.L.P’s will

[calidris]

Dear Rosie, I have not found the spot where his wife is buried, nor do I have the will. How could I obtain this?

You can download a copy for £1.50 but put 1956 as his year of death for tracing purposes
