Hull Western Cemetery
« on: Tuesday 15 July 14 19:07 BST (UK) »
I am 81 years old and live near London. My mother and stepsister are buried with George Douglas FILBY and other Filbys in the Western Cemetery in Hull.  I am trying to find someone who would take a photograph of the grave as I would like to ascertain the condition of the gravestone and whether it would benefit from restoration. 
Known as Douglas rather than George Born Sulcoates 1891.  Enlisted in Army in 1914.  Fought in many WWI battles and awarded Military Cross.  Died 9 Jan 1922 after an accident at Hull Docks.  Left widow Doris and subsequent daughter Patricia, who died aged 18 and both buried near him.
Please can anyone help get a photo so that I can decide on restoration of one or all graves.
Thank you so much to any kind person living in the locality of the cemetery.

Hi Mazilby
I will contact the bereavement services for this cemetery and see if they can assist you.
Can you provide the surnames that your mother and step sister would have been buried under, this is so the staff can check the records to find the correct grave/s.

Hi bendywendy
Many thanks for replying to my query for help. I have since managed to locate the grave and have contacted a stonemason who will do the restoration for me. Once we found a photo of the grave it made it easier for the stonemason to find it. Thank you so much for taking the time to offer your help, Much appreciated.
Regards Mazilby.
