Burial/Cremation of Lydia Annie REID nee MEE 1965
« on: Saturday 19 October 19 03:13 BST (UK) »
Hoping for some assistance to locate the resting place of Lydia Annie REID nee MEE whose death was registered at Chelmsford in the 3rd q 1965.

Lydia was the wife of Benjamin Gibson REID whose remains were cremated 13 Apr 1961 at Kensington and Chelsea, London, England..

Perhaps Lydia's remains were also cremated and are are located near her husband?

Deceased online which shows Benjamins cremation also shows a Lydia Anne Reid.
cremated on 17 August 1965
Kensington And Chelsea 
date of death  11 August 1965

I do not know if K&C records show what happened to the ashes.  Some crem records indicate whether they were scattered at the crem or taken away

Deceased online on the link I gave earlier. 

You can get that information without a subscription.  Benjamins also gives date of death  06 April 1961.

Lydia died in Chelmsford hospital, and the person who applied for the cremation was Stanley Reid.
