Denton Riley Grave query Skipton / Eastby 1954

[SUSANHORTON]

I have searched for a few years now for the whereabouts of where Denton Riley b1880 d1954 is buried.
He lived in Eastby with his sister in law Bertha Hird and died in Raikeswood Hospital Skipton on 21 April 1954. He and Bertha ran the Mason's Arms pub in Eastby but I don't know if he was still doing that in the year or two up til death. They also lived in a cottage named Burnlea / 50 Barden Rd in Eastby. I think this was very close or by the Masons Arms.

Any relatives that would know have long since died and any younger ones have no idea and are searching too. Nothing on Find a Grave, Deceased on Line etc and as I live 200 miles + away from Skipton I can't search their archives. If anyone is able to help please I should be grateful.
Thank you
Sue

Have you asked for an archive search of the local newspaper for any report on the funeral - if he worked in the local pub you would expect something in there.

News paper search has not revealed anything and the pub no longer exists, well the building does but it is an ordinary dwelling house since the last few years.

Skipton Cemetery or Crematorium might be a possibility, and it looks as though they will do a search for you. Contact details etc at http://www.cravendc.gov.uk/article/266/Funeral-records
