Do you have any idea where in Belgium they might have been?

 - I see some references here to Ruth Halliwell (just search on Halliwell) - married an Arthur Bell, had a son born 1878 in Brussels.

This couple married in 1873 in Leigh, Lancashire, specifically at Pennington Christ Church.

Can't help with further Belgium info, sorry.

When the Leigh Archives are open, you can arrange an appointment to view all local burial records FOC. I don't think they are indexed yet but if you know the cemetery or graveyard name and have the date of death, it's a simple grave address lookup. A pdf of burial ground plot layout can be downloaded online. Can get a bit tricky at Leigh Cemetery in that many graves have missing or otherwise absent gravestones.

Some more recent burials may not be available in this way.

EDIT Leigh Cemetery layout attached.

Thanks, I just wondered, never seen that done before. That is very helpful for researchers as long as you are not naming living people.

Thank you.
