Death/obituary look up
« on: Sunday 05 January 20 08:53 GMT (UK) »
I'm searching for any info on my biological birth father.
His name was Sean Kelly possibly John Kelly as the irish are renowned for calling John-Sean.
He was born approx 1920-1930 Inagh Co Clare Ireland.
He came to live in England in the early to mid 1960s he settled in Thornbury where he married and had two children.
He died around 1990/1991 as us buried in the Catholic section (according to a distant relation to him) in Thornbury cemetary.
Your help would be much appreciated
Thanks

You would need to contact the local council for a burial  lookup.

You should be able to locate his death registration on the GRO index
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

You really need to locate his death certificate so that you can give a date of death to anyone looking for a burial look up.  You may also find evidence of a will on the probate index.
