Sorry for the late replay have been poorly for the last week. AMAZING information thanks it has helped loads. Todd is the maiden name of Christopher Hamptons 2nd wife and Odgers is the maiden name of his 1st. Can't thank you all enough  ;D  Although still struggling to find a birth for James Ferguson born c 1885 or when he died, but hopefully will find it soon

Thank you both, sorry only just replying have been away for the weekend.
I really don't have any idea of where he was living, or if he was buried or cremated, or if obituaries were placed. I am visiting family later this week so will ask for more information. Is my best bet to ring the individual cemeteries to see if he is there ?
Many thanks for you help

Hello BallyaltikilliganG  & kingskerswell sorry have been away for the weekend and only just seen your posts. Many thanks for all your work. Will get to work to check out all you fantastic information.

The note about Alice might not being died, i guessed she had died as on one of the census it said her mother had 5 children and only 4 living, and i could find all the other children except my grandfather and Alice.
And about Mary Amelia, she was my grandfathers sister and my nans best friend, she was the one that got them together. She is also in the family cemetery plot but with only her name and date of death.
many thanks again

Warwickshire / how to find burial place for Daniel Eugene Gallagher somewhere in Birmingham

I am trying to find the burial place of my aunties Dad, Daniel Eugene Gallagher. He was born 6th March 1933 in Belfast and died 27th October 1974 in Birmingham. How do i go about trying to find it, as none of the family live in or near Birmingham.
I did try a few of the online cemetery sites but had no luck.
Any help would be much appreciated

I am trying to find information on where my grandfather was born/died and any other information possible. I have his marriage certificate with the following details-

3 August 1914 St Annes Church Belfast,
James Ferguson age 29 bachelor signalman
residence 16 L.Victoria street, Belfast   father William George Ferguson farmer
married
Marcella Montgomery age 23 spinster
residence 38 Rosapenna Street, Belfast   father James Montgomery soldier
witnesses Christy and Esther Ferguson

they went on to have 2 children
my grandfather James Ferguson born 22 June 1915 Omagh ( can't find his birth certificate at the minute but i remember that they were registered as living at a railway cottage and his Dad was working on the railway)
and Mary Amelia Ferguson no idea of when or where she was born but she died 9 October 1945 Belfast

i think i have found James Ferguson seniors father and family, William George Ferguson
1901 & 1911 in Kilmore , Armagh

Father William George Ferguson c1858 Armagh farmer
Mother Amelia born c1858 Armagh
Christopher born c1886 Newcastle Upon Tyne and Armagh
Alice born  c1891 Armagh (only on 1901 looks like she died before 1911)
Esther born c1894 Newcastle Upon Tyne and Armagh
William George born 1901 Armagh

If this is right it looks like Christopher and Esther were witnesses at brother wedding

Anyway i can find no trace of James Ferguson senior - my family were told he died young maybe before 1940s.
 ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Any help would be much appreciated
