stockton-on-tees burial - help please

[jsm]

OK - what i know so far is (and this is from a newspaper article that i found on findmypast's collection)

Charles Adkins collapsed and died at Wath Main pit on July 8th 1927.  His wife Naomi Adkins (nee Law) was attending a "family funeral" in Stockton on Tees at the time. So i was curious as to whose funeral it might have been.  (i'd wondered about Hoyle when i found the name on freebmd, as there are a lot of links with that family.  it cannot be though)

So - starting with the closest family - when did Naomi Adkins parents die? Presumably they would be Law, so looking at KGarrad's list, were they Benjamin or Elizabeth?

Next - did she have siblings? If so, what names for brothers and their wives, and also for sisters and their married names (are sisters married names amongst the list you gave?)

1881

Petty Shop, Albion Place, Brampton Bierlow, Yorkshire

Charles Law 45 coal miner bn Attercliffe
Elizabeth 40 bn Thurns....
Elizabeth 18
Naomi 15
Mary 13
Joseph 11
? 9
Mercy 7
Lily 3
Ethel 1
Ophelia 1 mth

so she had plenty of rellies that may have died!

Looks as if it wasn't her parents though.  Nor can I see a death for Ophelia anything in 1927in Stockton on Tees

You are trying so hard!  Thank you.  That is indeed her family - i have evidence of all their deaths/burials or proof that they were still alive in 1927 - except for her sister Mary (born 1868) who married Thomas Mills (born 1862)  I lost track of them after the 1891 census.  There is no Mills death for 1927 registered in the Stockton area though.

If you contact Bereavement Sevices at Stockton Council , telling them your 'predicament' , and giving them all the possible names , i'm sure they'd be able to let you know who was buried in any of their Cemeteries on that date.
