Staffordshire / How do I find a Grave
« on: Tuesday 22 May 07 03:23 BST (UK)  »
I am at long last going to get a trip over to the Uk for our bank holiday weekend 1 - 4 th June... OH decided we needed the break... I don't think he realises what he is in for being dragged around all the places I have wanted to visit for so long !!!

One of my priorities is to try and find my grandfathers grave.

Frederick Walker died 1946 address at time of death was 77 Dudley Road,  Colmore,  Birmingham


Would any SK'rs out there be able to guide me in right direction...

Any help would be wonderful...

1 more brick wall request... I haven't been able to confirm a death for great grandfather....

he was  born 1845 in Burntwood Staffs Henry Walker he appears in the 1901 census living at 23 Wallesey street Birmingham

have more death certs for the wrong Henry Walker than  I need  ???

Many thanks and will really appreciate any assists I can get

Best wishes

Sorry to disagree with you Chris,  Confirmation is normally done at 12 to 13 its Communion that is done at 7-8

Hope that helps

Hello Poppy,

You are welcome.

Fr Gaynor still there it was him I was going to ring....   and Jim was the chap that walked the graveyard with me.... so back to square one....

I have one more possible check that I can do.. no point in promising you anything yet but I will keep trying. 

I took angles of the graveyard ( will post the others) sadly no palm tree.... you are probably right taken with the removal of the mounds..

Pipers wore plain ones

Any chance your chap connected to Canada?  Princess Louise regiment attached to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlander regiment had plain ones...
