Grave i am looking for is Elizabeth Agnus Ethel Rance died 26 / 12 / 1933
Hi 'Chelle.

I took a look around the graveyard today - quite a revelation - it's quite large, and I've lived close by for many a year, and didn't know it existed.

I think I found your gran's grave, but I'm slightly confused, as it's not a perfect match on the detilas you supplied above.

Did she die very young ?

The grave I saw says....

"In loving memory of Bessie Rance who passed away December 21st 1933 aged 25."

So it's within 5 days of your date, but not spot on.

There are lots of graves, I didn't immediately notice any others for the surname Rance.

If I can attach them here are some pictures, although I don't think they will come up too well.

This is her Stefan , the minister told me that she did in fact die 21st dec 1933 so a couple of days out of date , and yes she died very young after a short illness, my dad was only 2 yrs old when she passed away :(

Thankyou for spending some time doing this for me , i am in alot of shock !


Warmest regards Chelle

lol Stephan - it was worth a cheeky try  ;D

A crowd of us in the chatroom with Chelle have been excitedly buzzing about the photos - there's more than one pair of dewy eyes in there.

Cheers,
