My grandmother died at the young age of 42, her death cert states at 283 Lodge Road, All Saints, Birmingham - widower of the deceased (Edwin) in attendance of 22 Avenue Road, Blackheath

Here they are on BCC - http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... ver=353877

I would love to know where she is buried but how can I find out?

St Paul Blackheath
Register number 618
3 June 1933 Elsie ROLLASON Avenue Rd aged 42 yrs

Thanks a million RF

I couldn't see her grave or my grandfathers when I visited St Paul's. I have always wondered if they were buried together or not.
My mother told me that her father wouldn't allow her to go to her mothers funeral (even though she was 17 at the time) I've never understood why! He later had another relationship but I dont know her name....

Did he remarry?
Was he buried with that lady?
Who was living at No 22 Avenue Road, Blackheath after he died in 1941 I think his 'partner' was still there because my mom didnt come to birmingham until abt 1943

So do you have his death certif info?

and you are now after his burial...............maybe at St Pauls Blackheath?

Electoral registers ................for that address...............ask smethwick if they have them.see who is living there.

I rang the archives yesterday Jan, yes they do have the Electoral Registers so I've just got to hold out until i can get there...the suspense is killing me

and me now!!...............


so have you found a marriage for him

and what about the death certif who witnessed it....

Edwin died 12 Dec 1941 and the informant was his son Gerald whose address is given as 22 Avenue Road (same as his father)

His other son Bert didn't get on with this other lady cos she wanted him to hand over all of his pay packet, so he joined the navy.
That's an indication that she must have been living at that same address after Edwin died doesn't it? How long after Edwins wife died did she move in (anytime between 1933 - 194?)

As you can see I have his death certificate but I don't know where he is buried...
