Thomas Thorpe died Barrow-in-Furness
« on: Sunday 27 May 18 19:57 BST (UK) »
Thomas Thorpe was born in 1912 and died in 1975 aged 62 in Barrow-in-Furness. Has anyone any idea where he might be buried?

You will probably need his address at the time of his death.  This shows the areas covered by Barrow reg district https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/barrow-in-furness.html
