CLOSED - NBI lookup plea

[philipsearching]

Please would some kind person with access to the National Burial Index check if there is a burial place listed for John Henry JAMES (or CORDNER-JAMES) who died on 20 April 1946 in Aldeburgh, Suffolk aged approximately 78.

(Family rumour suggests he might have been buried in Barham, Kent, but as he had no known connection to the area I am not convinced.)

Many thanks
Philip

It looks as though the NBI doesn't cover Aldeburgh in 1946

Hi,

An online tree gives his burial as 25 April 1946 in Kingsbury, Middlesex but no extra details.   

Found it!

St Andrew, Kingsbury.  His address is given as  Aldeburgh.

You are my heroes of the day!  You have come up with the answer!

Considering that John walked out on his family in Middlesex to set up home with his mistress in Suffolk it seems odd that he was buried in Middlesex - but maybe he had purchased the grave plot previously.

John is one of the more colourful characters in my tree and now you have given me a place I can visit to pay my respects.

Two million thanks to you (one million each to Rosie99 and Nanny Jan!)

Many thanks for the extra research, Rosie.

I have a copy of the will and it gives a fascinating insight into the family dynamics!
