I dont think any record is kept of who attended a funeral - unless it is a "society" affair with a newspaper report. Likewise, as to details of the funeral, there may have been a printed order of service, if the family arranged for one, but unless a member of the family kept one, there wont be any survivng record.
Not sure what youn are expecting to find?
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Hi,i want someone to look up the newspaper report,in theAberdare leader,or Llantrisant observer.I cant look it up myself.I posted on Cardiganshire page ages ago,but was told last night I would have more luck on the Glamorgan page.I thought at the time if anyone was going to the records in Aberystwyth,they would have a look for me.someone sent me my grandmothers report from Aberdare Leader,huge write up,answered many questions.glen
