I did ask for a search of all Wigan cemeteries and the result came back that she wasn't buried at any - but thanks for the idea!
best wishes,
Ian.

Hi Ian,
Did you check that she wasn't cremated? If you contact Wigan Council they will be able to tell you the person to contact, and details of any crematoria in the locality. I am assuming people could be cremated at that time.

oh eck!
now the plot thickens lol
didn't really consider cremation
and the family were originally from Hindley, Wigan and possibly "non-conformist" at some point (may have lapsed!).
Not sure what kind of look up was conducted in the cemeteries - I pressumed all, near the date of death but now I'm questioning it.
may have to go back to the drawing board and start again.
oh eck!

Have you tried the obits in the Local papers.If the entry is there it will more than likely tell you where the service was held and often where they were going to be buried/cremated.May just give you at least an area to continue your searches
