Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Death look up please

There is an Elizabeth J Banyard (born 1910) shown on 1939 Register living in Hillingdon, Middlesex which is not too far from Denham.
I know the area well; lived there for many years!

England / Re: could a will lead to finding great grandmothers grave

The burial of my gt.aunt's ashes is recorded in the burial register (1948) for the cemetery in Kent. She had died in 1941 so I guess WW2 delayed the burial.

One of my gt. aunts left a request in her Will that she was to be cremated and her ashes put in her mother's grave. A few complications....she died in Somerset, mother's grave was in Kent but it did happen.
