Look up request - Coulson in Whitby

[ants59]

BMD records show a Mary Coulson, age 86, as having died in March 1906 at Whitby.  I would be very grateful to anyone able to tell me details of the burial record or the inscription on the headstone.

Thank you for your help.

Scarborough council have the burial records for the Cemetery at Larpool Lane in Whitby.  If you email the Cemeteries & Crematorium Assistant with the details they may be able to help.

I realise this is an old thread and ants59 has not been active on RC for a couple of years but I recently found out that Scarborough Crematorium are now charging £20 for a burial look-up for Larpool Lane, Whitby Cemetery and Scarborough Cemetery.  I have asked for several details in the past and always received, free of charge, the plot number, the names, ages & burial dates of the deceased. Times have changed.......  I think Acklam, Middlesbrough Crematorium office still provide free details for the cemeteries in Middlesbrough.

Incidentally, ants59, I found this in the Whitby Gazette Friday 2nd February 1906 (now on FindMyPast): Deaths: "January 28th at Aislaby aged 86 years, Mary, wife of Mr Thomas Coulson, labourer."

My local library has the Monumental Inscriptions for St Margaret's, Aislaby and if you wish, I can look to see if there was a headstone for Mary, if indeed she was buried there.
