Hi again :)
Now you have the death cert for John you will know the quarter and the date he died.I had intended to look for an orbit in the local paper when i was doing the poll books for you.You only knew the year then and it meant going looking through 48 newspapers ::) so 2 time consuming.
If he has a family grave somewhere he might be there,If you want to try liverpool you might have a long haul not having a clue where he is and not being sure of the religion.I have three big trees  so lots of names and i only know where 2 are buried thanks to my cousin ;)So i cant ask for look-ups.
So if you give me the date he died (and the month) I can now look in a couple more cemeteries plus the newspaper .That i couldn't do before.

Hola Celia :)

Thank you.
 John Lunt died1/March/1927 @45 Manor Rd,he was 65 years old.
Very kind of you to go to this trouble,I do appreciate it.
May I ask while you are at it :-[ if you could see if his wife Ann/Anne  Jane might be there. I have not been able to find her death,but would imagine that she would probably be buried with or near.

Mucho Grasias

I have now looked in the 2 weeks local newspapers after his death.Noting there I am afraid.In fact most of the news was about football ::)And whats on at the theater and the pictures.Then a short report about a young man falling down a hatch  on a ship in liverpool.
There was a lunt mentioned but it was an advertisement for a Paint manufacturers.So you  can cross that look-up as done ;)

Hi Celia :)
Many thanks for that, but was very interested in the advertisment as John Lunt and family were paint manufacturers.
Would it be possible to scan and send please ::)

Well it sems he may have crossed the water!!
I just don't know where to start,apart from going thro all cemeteries online,well those that are online.
I must admit, I felt sure there would have been something like an obit,he had employed a number of people in the business and  a lot of people did put notices in.
Again thanks for your help.
Regards

No that's not possible I am afraid,The newspaper is on film and i would have to have the page printed out in the library.
 Anyway the print is far to small to small read on a printout which isn't free.
I did copy it though just in Case ;D It was an add, plain print in a small square.
