Yew Tree Cemetary,Finch lane,West Derby Grave information if possible please

[IanChris]

Hi everybody,
I am hoping you will be able to help me in the search for Grandfathers resting place,
I believe he was buried in Yew Tree Cemetery, West Derby, Liverpool,his funeral service being held
at St Dominics RC church.
His full name was Benjamin Gerard Searson, his year of birth was 1922 and year of death was 1975,
My Mother passed away recently and she was estranged from the rest of her family so these are the
only real details i can offer i am afraid.
I have exhausted all available avenues on Google etc etc.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Ian Christopherson

There is a member, Ozranga, who is willing to do look ups for Ford and Yew Tree Cemeteries. Just search for the thread headed Ford and Yew Tree Cemetery Records.

Ozranga (in the thread you have already been pointed to)
may be able to confirm  the section and plot number and if there are any other burials in what I suspect is the grave they are both buried in and she may have info as to whether or not there is a headstone.

Thank you so much for your help guys!!!

Now you have the grave number (M486) from Ozranga, if you are in the area you can look to see if the grave has a stone.

You can see a section map here:

I believe the first person in the grave (Catherine Kemp) was your maternal G Grandmother.
FreeBMD Marriages shows a very likely registration Q2 1944, Prescot for Benjamin Searson and Catherine Kemp, plus the birth registrations of the known children give a mother's maiden name of Kemp - though I can't post details of those as we aren't allowed to discuss details of people who may still be alive.

If you have access to the 1939 National ID register (something we aren't allowed to do lookups for) or can get to a library which does, then you'll probably find your Grandmother in there - though Grandad may not be as he was of an age to be in the Forces who weren't recorded - worth a look though.
