Are you sure she was buried - not cremated?

Her death was registered in Leeds RD - but what was her home address as the Leeds RD covered many areas

Oh dear....I'm afraid I don't know. I've only just found out she died in Leeds as she was born in Scotland. There were family nr Beckett St cemetery and Harehills cemetery at the time,but other than that I have no info...sorry

Not sure whether they charge or not, but they probably do  :o :o  Although it would be better if you have her exact date of death, and her last known address in Leeds.

Brian you're a genius...thank you SOOOO much!!! Was there anyone with her do you know? Her husband was James and I have a vague recollection of names Hughie, Peter Robert or Jimmy. Only if you have time to look of course.
Many thanks again

Still no sign of Hugh, bare in mind these checks are for municipal burials so church funerals excluded.
