Shropshire / Re: lady of the lions ?? Born Alveley lived in HUNGERFORD

Continuing the story…yes it’s been a while ..
Sonya and Tommy Allen settle in Bath Road, Hungerford ..they never married but had a daughter Betty who also performed in the act.
In the early 1960s Tommy is injured when he falls off a circus truck ??
Tommy died 14 February 1962
Sonya Bertha Allen died in 1986
I have so far been unable to find where they are buried, so if anyone lives in the area or has a database for Hungerford, I would be most grateful.

Shropshire / John Baldwin - Bridgnorth Shropshire
« on: Thursday 25 March 21 18:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
Just wondering if some kind person could help me with a Bridgnorth Cemetery query ?
I am looking for the gravestone (or burial date) of John ( Jack) Baldwin who died around December 1961?  (a Methodist family)
Jack was born at Monkhopton in 1886, and married Bertha Massey in 1908. He was a Blacksmith at Alveley. His family remember he died in Bridgnorth hospital, but  think he was buried at Bridgnorth and not at Alveley  ?
any help would be much appreciated

I do have some of their dates of birth, but not 100% sure of their complete accuracy, so did not include them.  So if anyone is related, ( Pamela was my grandmother's younger sister)
please get in touch, i would really appreciate it.
