Hi, I'm trying to find my grandad's grave. His death registration district was Wood Green, Middlesex. I've contacted them to see if he's buried there - he's not. I've also contacted the local council at Sandwell - but have not had a reply yet. I don't know where else to look. Has anyone any ideas please? Is there anything like the buriel index of Gt Britain? Any ideas would be great. Thanks in advance, Lou

Hi I have the National Burial Index too, so if anyone wants a look up let me know. It is the greatest waste of money I have ever spent on myself as I have never found a single relative, but if I can find somebody else's it would make it worthwhile. He could be buried in a churchyard, or cremated if late enough. Margaret

Hi Lou I have got a little book of Cemeteries. It looks to me as if you may have the death cert, so if you could pm me the actual address (I won't be back til tonite, so it'll make it easier to find) then I can have a look and tell you the nearby ones and give you their numbers. Also if he was either Catholic or Jewish would be a big help! Maz. XX
