Hi,my g grandparents told my mum that they went to my gg grandfathers funeral and that he was buried at Stanton Road cemetery ,however I have contacted the Stanton road cemetery and the man sent me a letter saying no records at all ?I paid £5.00 to join the friends of Stanton Road Cemetery ,Ilkeston,Derbyshire so I could find out but he insists that my gg grandfather is not there.I telephoned the cemeterys in Nottingham and Derbyshire but they say I will have to pay £25.00 for a search now of all the cemeterys in the area but why would my g grandmother lie about a funeral?Very strange ,dont you think?Suz. Is there anyone who can find where William Nunn born 1843 Ipswich Suffolk is buried ?he died at Ilkeston,Derbyshire abt 1920 I think.

They didn't necessarily lie...........perhaps they were just confused............mixed up his funeral with someone else's Reg

yes ,you may be right Reg,it is a puzzle though!thanks,suz.

I think you need firstly to establish when he died........and where. It may be that it was somewhere other than the area in which he actually lived......... Reg

I am searching for his death on Ancestry ,I hope I can find it ,yes anything is possible .He was the relieving officer for the Basford workhouse in Nottingham so could be there ,Suz

Suz there is a death for a William Nunn in the december quarter 1922 in Basford aged 79 ref no:7b-176. The age fits? Georgina.
