Hi Ben,

He was actually on holiday in 1976 and died there in Benidorm. We have been to Benidorm and have not been able to find his grave and had been to a couple of cemeterys. Not sure on names though.

He was born in 1907 in Groby, Leicestershire.

Thanks for your help,


Dimpsey

Could he have been bought back home for burial? Was it 1967 or 1976?

I think the way to find out is to try and obtain his death certificate. Has this been done already though?

No. As I cant even find his death on Ancestry website.

I have just spoke to my nan who seems to think he was buried in a smaller cemetery and was then later moved to a larger Cemetery in Alicante

Thanks
