Hi,

A copy of Emily's death certificate should show her home address, which will give you a starting point for finding her grave.  It will also give the exact date of death which is usually required by local councils when searching the records.

Emily Clapham  MarQ  1918    Peterbro   3b  270   (age given 80)   

 Found using FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

A copy of the certificate can be ordered using those references, cost £9.25, from GRO:

When was Frederick born?

NZ BMD has this Death Reg 1917;
1917/303   Clapham, Frederick age 74Y (birth c 1843)

EDIT;
Looks possible;
1851 Census;
John Buck, 30
Amelia Buck, 35
James Lambt Clapham, 10, Nephew
Frederic Clapham, 7, Nephew born Wansford, Northamptonshire****

1851 Emily is with Widowed Mother Sarah in Bedfordshire;
Sarah Clapham    30, Widow, born Thorney, Cambridgeshire
Emmily Clapham    13, Daug
Betsy Kisby, 20, Servant

1861 James is with his Uncle in Thorney;
John Crane, 55
James L Clapham, 20

1861 we have;
Sarah Clapham    47
Frederick Clapham 17

I presume you have the Marriage of William Clapham/Sarah Crane 1836 (its on FreeREG in Thorney)

They then Witness a Marriage the same year of Wrigt Crane PROVOST/Emma CRANE.

Williams 1844 Burial is there also age 35 (how sad)

Jeanette Clapham seems to be the Daug of John/Ellen Baptised 1848

1871 Sarah Clapham is with her Nephew Wright Proost in Lincolnshire
