Title: Looking for the burial of Kate/Katherine GIBSON 1944
Post by: Westy11 on Monday 04 June 18 11:22 BST (UK)
Kate/Katherine GIBSON born in 1874 died in 1944 and her death registered in the 4th quarter 1944 at Loughborough.

Katherine would have been about 70 years of age.  Her husband John Thomas GIBSON died 15 Nov 1948 at  Kirby Muxloe.

A burial date and location will be much appreciated.

Hi I can check the loughborough records for you but may not be L,Boro itself but one of the villages. Do you know where they lived?

Hello Diddy,

That would be so fantastic if a photograph were possible.  Kate's husband John Thomas died a few years later and I imagine if a headstone was there it may include him and possibly their young son Walter who died aged 8.

Much appreciated/

cemetery officer has only got one Kate Gibson died 1934 aged 63 so not yours sorry. this means she is not buried in Loughborough cemetery with or without stone.


I can check the death reg when in library Monday in case any other details given.

Hi no good news. All Saints ( main L,Boro church) burial records only go up to 1913. Did check St Peter's
But not buried there.

Hi Just checked the probate record. although she died in Loughborough, her address is given as 9 Church Rd, Kirby Muxloe. this fits with what you said about husband so I suspect she will have been buried in KM.

maybe someone local there can check for you.
