Burial info PLEASE
« on: Tuesday 18 November 14 21:22 GMT (UK) »
 :) :) Hello-- from Brittany in France.

I am totally stumped!! huge brickwall--re my grandfathers grave-burial place.
Alexander Harold Robinson--died 20 June 1958-( born approx 1896 N Ireland )in Brownlow hill hospital.
Anyone have a clue where he might have been buried??
He was born in N Ireland--and married   in Presbyterian church--so COI I expect--BUT lived with Dorothy Olive?  in Liverpool  AND HAD FURTHER children


Only other info I CAN GIVE- he had  run a pawnshop business in old Swan-- and have just the address of that-no other info  regarding that sadly.
Many Thanks for any help

Does it definitely show Brownlow Hill Hospital as his place of death on his death cert?  What was his home address

144A Brownlow Hill was the Workhouse (which had its own infirmary) but it wasn't around in 1958.  The land was put up for auction in 1930 and bought by the RC Church.  The Metropolitan Cathedral was subsequently built there

His probate states he died 20 June 1958 at Royal Infirmary Liverpool 3.  His address was 5 Waldgrave Road, Liverpool 15.  Administration to Ellen Robinson, widow. Effects £115.

 :)Thank You,

Ellen Robinson was my grandmother.

I believe he was buried in Liverpool ,which would be the closest cemetaries to Waldgrave Rd-sorry I do not know the areas of Liverpool.
Many Thanks

If he lived in Liverpool 15 he could be buried at Allerton, Anfield or Toxteth.  As you know his exact date of death you could ask Liverpool Records Office if they can tell you where he is buried.  However, they make a charge per cemetary searched so you need to check that first

Just to mention that I don't see him listed on the [wonderful] website for the Toxteth Park cemetery: http://www.toxtethparkcemetery.co.uk/dbase/toxsearch.php.

 :) Thank You All ,so much.

I have briefly checked the Allerton site -zilch-although there maybe some of his second family buried there,but I do not have their names.

All I do know  for sure-is his partners first names Dorothy Olive  registered his death , AND AS  his estate went to my Grandmother--as his widow  ,almost impossible to trace any of that family.

As it is, have the hugest brickwall with his early life as a Policeman?? in N Ireland --again no records!!!!!--I believe maybe available 2021/22--  when you are my age--I want it before I meet him!! ::)

Another possible cemetery: West Derby. Allerton, Anfield or West Derby could be any of these cemeteries.
