Find Ancestors

Hi, I am looking to find my great grandmothers grave, but I do not know when she died/was buried. Her name was Margaret Ann Kennedy (nee Moore), she was born in 1885 in Birkenhead, Wirral and married William H Kennedy. (Would lovebto know where he is buried also) If anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction, that's be great!
Thanks
Steph

I see you had another thread about this family Steph. Admittedly, the deaths were not found on it.

Thank you, I found the official record yesterday and the address is his so be did die in 1930, my Dad was amazed! And also disappointed that its very possible his grandmother Margaret died when he was 8 but he never got to meet her, I am yet to confirm. They were married in 1910, that's how my tree started as one had previously been done for us but mixing up two William h Kennedy's. I believe I know all their children and also he died in 1930 so don't think the Buchanan wedding is the same William either! Very strange! Thank you very much for your help!! I have been able to send my dad the record and a picture of the ship and we are excited for the next step :)
