Hi,
In the past I received help from members when trying to uncover where Benjamin actually died in 1909 when he went to America unfortunately at the time it was hitting the brick wall, perseverance has prevailed and and the following has been uncovered
Grainger Benjamin of 3 Craddock Street Spennymoor Co.Durham died 20th October 1909 at St. John`s Hospital St Louis Illonois Administration Durham 25 January to Hannah Maria Grainger
Would it be please possible, to actually find out where Benjamin is actually buried any help or information would be gratefully accepted
Thank you
Benjamin Grainger from Spennymoor

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
