[nanny jan]

Her death was registered in Jan-Mar Q 1973  in Hackney registration district.

Yeah that sounds about right as I thought it was Feb 73 from what I picked up but my mum for obvious reasons has completely blanked it from her mind, thank you so much

Hi hackney district council don't hold records for individuals, they told me I need to contact every cemetery near that area, do u think just her name and date of birth is enough to find out that information

Regards
Tracey

Her full name and date of death;  her address might also be useful.

A copy of the death certificate might help to find the nearest cemetery to start your search.

Thank you, I have no address for her but I will try and get her death certificate

Hi I have found her dearth records and someone has that her date of birth was 1952 instead of 1951 and they also told my mum that she was registered under penman not Odatuwa as her married name, this was the girls (twins) older sister I believe that went to register her death so I think I need to speak to her to ask her what's going on now as she is not giving my mum the right answers , I don't know if I can include a photo to see what I found


Thanks again for all ur help

The 1973 registration for Helena  Odatuwa gives her birth as 28 April 1952;  perhaps the informant did not know the exact date.
