Tried in IE instead of Chrome but now "an error has occurred with this application"
Heywood, could you send me a pm with details of Albert and Rhoda, when buried and grave number please, seeing as you are having much better luck than me

Hi Hetwood.
I tried that this morning but the box labels are hidden a bit under the boxes so I had to guess at titles. When I entered the details, I get "incorrect burial/ cremation record" msg

Thanks Radcliff but the records for Greenacres in 1954 and 1958 that I want, are not there.
Their names are
Albert Bailey, died 31/12/53, buried Jan 1954
Rhoda Bailey, died 10/9/58, Buried Sept 1958
Also can't find a burial record for my Great Grandfather Thomas Henry Daltry- died 12 May 1931. Probably buried in Greenacres and there was an inquest, but i can't find him May- Aug
All help gratefully received

Checking these records on Family Search but the Burial Records 1939-1992 are not there so how do I find my grandparents' graves? The Grave Registers for those dates are there but I don't know when the grave was purchased. Can anyone help please ?
I used to get emails from Roots Chat Eng Lan (I think) but since the PC crashed I don't so can't ask there
Thanks

It couldn't have been a stroke cos there is no mention of disability resulting from the illness. The description of "sobbing uncontrollably" and " lamenting into her hands ' have mercy Lord" , not sleeping or wanting to eat are not symptoms of a stroke either. So it sounds like deep depression to me. Not that one dies of that of course, just suffers.
I will never know for sure but upsetting none the less.
I have a photo of her mother but oddly, not of her. I had hoped there might be one in the records but only a description of this sad and emaciated woman. Glad she found peace soon after.

Thanks again Lizze.
I have now been to Preston to look at the records of my Great Great Grandmothers stay in that asylum. A friend and I were quite moved to read what was written about her in there. I had thought that the" cerebral softening of 3 years " on her death certificate meant that she had had a stroke but I think it must have been dementia. Labelled 'melancholia' it sounded at first like severe depression but i will never really know. Very very sad tho.
