Hi Ricky

I would be tempted to look for the civil death registration as suggested by Arranroots, as opposed to looking for the church burial record in the parish register. You're likely to get more information - cause of death, the informant, address etc.

Most main libraries have, I understand, the GRO indexes on fiche, as have LDS Family History Centres which are well spread over the UK. Once you've found the reference ordering the certificates can be done online.

Have you checked to see if they have headstones in Kirtling - a fiche of Kirtling MIs is available from Cambs FHS for only thirty bob - it might save a trip to Cambs

Regards

David
