I know this is a long shot but we are getting to the point of sore heads with this brick wall and would love to be able to sort it so can give dad the 65th brithday present he would love.

His gt grandparents lived in Chadwell Heath and we are desperately trying to find where they are buried and Dad keeps saying to mum he wishes he could find where they are.

I have a death date a place for his grandfather but dont seem to be getting anywhere with cemeteries and churchyards and I have contacted all of them I think over the past year.

My Gran says she was told they were buried together and thought it was Ilford.

Cant find death entry for his Gt Gran although we think its the mid 1930s, his Gt Grandfather died November 1943.

My Gran was bought up by them for the first 14 or so years of her life and I know it would mean a lot to her as well.

Is there anyone in the local area that could help me try and locate them.

Sitting with fingers crossed

Hi Dawn,

I have a Surname Index for St Andrews Hornchurch 1576-2000, probably not there but it will be another one eliminated for you.

Quite happy to have a look for you if you have the Surname, pm if you prefer to.

Kind regards
Amanda

Hi Dawnie,

Didn't think it was very likely, but there was a home for the elderly in Hornchurch, no luck, sorry.

I would try Chelmsford Record Office, if you can search yourself all the better, you have the date of death, so the buriel could be there somewhere, unless he was buried in a family grave in the place he was born?

Maybe finding his wife's death may help you, am happy to search a few years for you.

Kind regards
Amanda

Amanda

am in the Midlands so getting down to search is a problem.

Nan is sure she was told they were buried in Ilford but I have tried and cant find them.

Mary Ann we have searched all years with Andrew and Andrews and nothing even tried with her name as Emma as thats what people called her.

Even with his death date cant find burial via cemeteries.
