Karen McDonald thank you so much for your personal assistance I tried to reply to your pm but couldn't never had one before. This information although not the outcome my cousin would like that is being able to visit Granny's grave. This other information is very useful and they will be able to visit the area. Thank you so much Kind regards Anne

Dave Capps and Karen McDonald thank you both for making enquiries I didn't imagine it would be so difficult. I shall try Stadtarchiv Oberhausen when they open tomorrow and see if they can help thanks Dave. Karen I don't know if any other family members have extended the lease, so it looks like Granny Hedwig's grave is no longer there. Thank you  Karen for keep trying. It is so kind Regards Anne .

Hello Dublin1850 I have been  in touch with a Volunteer in Germany and the graves are re used if the lease runs out , so she has given me a number to contact the regions graves commission to  see if the grave still exists. Regards anne

I really  hope someone can help me locate my cousins grandmother's grave in the Sterkrade, Oberhausen region of Germany. Her name was Hedwig Hess she died on the 20th April 1961. My Cousin said the cemetery is called VEG but I haven't managed to locate this cemetery  on find a grave or on google.  They are going to Germany in 2weeks and would like to visit Hedwig's grave.. Her husband was called Hans and their daughter was Anneliese Hedwig Hess b1913 Baden Wurttemberg. This is all the information I have to go on. Thank you Anne

Apologies  everyone of course it should read No first Minister for Northern Ireland.  I remember the poll that was done a few years ago and it was  slightly in favour of staying as a member of the United Kingdom. Anne.
