Title: Last resting place of Alice GURNER d. 04-02-1954 London/Middlesex area
Post by: Keith Sherwood on Monday 08 June 20 15:16 BST (UK)

Hi, Everyone,
I was wondering whether there might be a burial or cremation entry record somewhere in the London area for my great-grandma Alice Mary GURNER who died on 4th Feb 1954, aged 89.  She lived in Brunswick Square, EC.
Even though her parents and great-grandparents were buried in Abney Park Cemetery, I have at least discovered that she does not lie there in Stoke Newington.
Any help, gratefully received,
Keith

Have you downloaded a copy of her will in case there are any details of where she wanted to be buried?

Hi
Her husband was a banker ( Walter, died 1927? ) so if she is buried "with him" they may in an upmarket place like Golders Green or Kensal Rise?
