[Romilly]

Malcolm North, (Born 1936 Yorkshire)  Died in a house fire in Hull in 1970.

I've been trying to find a Newspaper Article about it, - but without success so far. Can anyone on here see anything please?

Cheers, Romilly.

Thanks John.

Yes, I think that's the address. The Probate doesn't mention anyone though... I think he Married in 1962.

Many thanks John.

I can see Malcolm North on there, but I can't see the other name?

Hi
The other name on the burial register is a Mrs ...  in the Name and Residence of Informant column, on the right hand side. It doesn't actually have the residence, but they seem to have the undertakers there as well.

This gets sadder still, as the other burial in compartment 471 grave 11 was a baby (entry 59475, as per ledger)

Edited - got the number wrong, sorry.

Thanks again John.

Yes, very sad. She must have been his daughter. I'm surprised that there don't seem to be any Newspaper Reports, - I've looked on FindmyPast and I can't see anything.
