Look up please Leonard George Rapson
« on: Friday 15 August 14 12:56 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

Looking for the date of death and location grave of Leonard George Rapson. All I know he was born 1904 and died 1978. Buried somewhere in Norfolk. Married to Nancy (burke). Not sure if she was alive in 1978. He was an RAF man. Stationed at RAF Vailey Oxford 1947-1953. That's all I know abot him.

Any help greatly appreciated.

The death is registered in the Wayland registration district which covers these parishes

You may need to buy the certificate to locate the area.  He may have been cremated  :-\

Thank you Rosie. Shame location of his grave can't be found online. All I know his death was registered in the Wayland district.  :-[

Hi Norfolk,

that's a start. What's the name of the cemetery in Munford ? Is it possible to look for the grave (and especially the inscription) on e.g. Ancestry ? I don't have acces to Ancestry unfortunately.

thank you for your time

That would be great Norfolk and grately appreciated.
He was married to Nancy Burke. Don't think she's still alive, she would be over 100 years now.

Again thank you very much.
