Hi,

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

Harriett's inquest was held at Bandon Hill Cemetery. You could contact them to see if they have any details.

JJ

Well found JJ, so my suggestion of trying there looks as if it could be right.

It certainly does  :)

Things were done much quicker then! Now it would probably take several weeks.

Spoke to Brandon Hill Cemetery office only had information I already knew, couldnt advise me who might help with archived records. Suggested if I knew who the undertakers were they might be able to help  ??? If I knew that I would know it all and not be looking! Any advice or suggestions

What information are you looking for? Bandon Hill ought to be able to tell you where she is buried in the cemetery. Even if you knew the undertakers, it was 85 years ago, so if they are still in business, the chances of them still having records are very slim! I presume that you have her death certificate?

As I mentioned above, Deceased Online has full register details, grave details (including 1 other burial) and burial register scan. These will cost you £2, £1.50 and £2 respectively.

For many of my own relatives, Deceased Online has offered a (chargeable) grave location map. Absence of this in the available info above suggests that it might not exist for this particular cemetery.

As groom says, what information are you looking for in particular?
BARTRAM - Nottingham, Derby, originally Beds (Stagsden)
PERFETT - St Pancras & Marylebone, Rugby, Nottingham
RADFORD - Nottinghamshire, also back & forth to Bury
RUDD - Durham, Margate, Bermondsey, Newcastle, Nottingham

This doesn't help with finding the cemetery, but there is a newspaper article of the coroner's inquest, which states she was married before. (Just in case you were tracking backwards from her.  The husband states they married in 1927)  (Source: Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette 16 February 1933)

She was married before to my grandfather's stepbrother who was killed in WW1 in France. I have death certificate and newspapers reports off inquest. She is buried in unconsecrated ground. Just hoped to know who buried her grandad or the council

Deceased online only has what you see for free and a plot number no more
