There's also this death but the age is quite a few years out as to what is shown on the census:

Date of Registration: Jun 1937

I'm not seeing anything in the Dorset burials, might she have been cremated?

Could this be her death?

I don't know if I could ask you to do one more thing for me.I have been in touch with a gentleman who looks after historical records at Alton Pancras he has confirmed that my great grandfather and his son who died aged two are buried there.i was Asuming that my great grandmother Elizabeth Ann Tompkins or could be recorded as Tomkins would be there as well.but he has informed me that there were no burials in Alton Pancras in 1937 when we are thinking she died.could I ask if it would be possible if you could come up with a resting place for her.many Thanks Phil

Good luck Phil.

Not too sure about that Prickles, I think I'm a tad bigger going by your avatar.

Phil, you can now use Google to find out which churchyards are in the burial parishes we have posted.

I am confused too Marie.

Hello Phil, welcome to the boards. You need to give us some birth years ....

Is Lilly Bessie Burt the married name of his daughter? (Your heading isn't very clear)

I am looking for the final resting place for the above.I know that John died in 1901 and was my great Grandfather.Lilly was his daughter so formally Tompkins.I anyone out there can help I would be greatfull.I am planing to spend some time in Dorset next week so it would be good to visit the graves and lay some flowers.

Thanks for reading this post.Phil
