You could start by trying the relevant Councils and asking if they have records of who is buried where which you can consult (there may be a fee).

Here is a link to Ealing Council Cemeteries section that may help to start with

https://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/201036/deaths/738/cemeteries

and Hounslow

https://www.hounslow.gov.uk/downloads/download/410/cemeteries

If they cannot help they should be able to tell you who can
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

Welcome to rootschat

The probate for the 1955 death which was registered in Ealing RD gives an address of .. Glenwood Road, Hounslow. 

Is it likely they were cremated  :-\

ADDED It is possible that the reason the 1959 death was registered in Ealing reg distric is that he was in hospital when he died.

Ok I will have a look that maybe the case.  I do not know much about them as my Gran was brought up by her aunt and saw them once a year.  She is now dead.

The father in law you mentioned before removing names possibly died March qtr 1960 also Ealing reg district.

Hounslow local studies may be able to help though I am not sure what records they would have.

Love your avatar  :)  Hope they are quieter than my horror. ::)

I only removed names as first post and then saw something in red at the top about not asking about people so then edited and removed.  Lily has her mad and deaf moments like all spaniels 😀. Where did you find the 1960 death of Charles Pearce I have looked in ancestry?

It was on freebmd as suggested by Ray though the link does not seem to be working.  It has been slow for the last few days.
Deaths Mar qtr1960 
PEARCE    Charles    age 89   
Ealing    5e   245

It is alright to ask about people who are not living  :)

The Mod on this board has a good knowledge of  cemeteries in this area, hopefully she will spot this.  :)

Ok thank for that in that case here is all the info

Adophus Dotrice 28 June 1955 Ealing born 29 June 1878 Guernsey he does play around with his first name using other options
and his wife Louisa Dotrice  (nee Pearce) Dec 1969 Hounslow

Her father may or may not be with them (Charles Pearce) all I know is he was with them in 1939 before the WW2 and when records started again he was gone so must have died.

I will look at that Pearce in 1960 but I will be surprised as was living with them and no longer listed and he would have outlived her husband?
