I wonder if he’s buried in Higher Cemetery,it’s quite close to Heavitree.It’s very big and unless he has a grave stone ,it may not be possible to find the grave.

I’m afraid I wouldn’t bother. My cousins son has my grandparents wrong on his tree with Grandad dying in1963. Wrong he died 1935 and aforementioned cousins grandfather registered the death!

There’s one going around Devon,where you get someone phoning saying your loft insulation is wrong and needs looking at. The city council tried ringing the number this morning and it does not accept calls. We had one but call minder intercepted it.
