KATHLEEN HARRISON -ACTRESS = Raynes Park - MERTON

[Moosie100]

Does anyone have any information on the address of her last residents and burial place of the late actress Kathleen Harrison who lived and died in Raynes Park in Merton. I am looking for her place of burial and understand she is buried with her son in south London but cannot locate the cemetery. She was married to a John Henry Black.

Hi,

What years are we looking at?

If its around the 1950 / 1960 era i think i found some pictures of her in a newspaper. If you would like a copy of them just PM me your email and i will forward them on.

Seems she was 103 when she died 

I found a great obituary for her.

Nothing i find seems to say where she is buried.

I found the death of the son, Guy, in 1970. He was cremated at the Mortlake crematorium London.

I have kept all these articles i have found in case you want them.

There is a memorial with photos of her on findagrave, but no mention of where her grave is (not really findagrave then is it  )

According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, she died at her home, 30 Cottenham Park Road, Merton, London, on 7 December 1995.

As you have her actual date of death, you could see if Mortlake Crematorium will confirm if they have her in their records
