Hi, I found a someone at the council offices who deals with this, and she gave me her email address and said she would check the graves and come back to me.  Will let you know if I get a response and see if the system works.  thanks a lot, Brenda

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Preston Cemetery, North Shilds
« on: Friday 05 August 11 10:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I live in France and want to visit the graves of some family in Preston Cemetery.  Can anyone tell me how I can find out grave numbers, and perhaps a  map of the cemetery itself.  The people I am looking for are:

George Rasmussen died 3 December 1944
George Anderson died 19 June 1944
Margaret Anderson died 2 November 1944

Andy help would be greatly appreciated.

Brenda

Yes, I did find two sons, and spoke to one, who said he was not interested in contacting the family back in England, so looks like it will be left there.    At least, the UK family now know they can stop looking for their brother!

Thanks to everyone to has helped me on this site.  I have traced the people I was looking for, unfortunately, via obituaries!  At least my friend can now have some closure.  Her brother, Thomas, left UK when she was still a small child and she could never rmemeber him and always wondered what happened to him, so now, I have been able to tell her.

Thomas parents Were Thomas and Charlotte, he had 5 brothers and sisters, Betty, Ivor, Ron, John and Margaret (she is the sister I am trying to help) she is a f riend of mine and not coputer literate in any way. An address of Robinson Street, Hamilton, Ontario is something that the other sister has, and Saskatuan (sp) seems to ring a bell with her.

That's about all they know about him.  Margaret was born in 1941 at the time her brother Tom was in the RAF and never really got to know him and now she is wondering what happened to him and thinking there is a possibility he might even still be alive.

Thanks for all your help.
Brenda

Think Thomas married june in Ontario, but not really sure.  I am doing this for his sister, who was 20 years younger than Tom so did not know too much about him, but getting his RAF records might be a good idea.  He did return to UK before he settled in Canada, so will check the Passenger Lists.

Thanks a lot
