The search for the burial of Florence Codrington (nee Potter) in March/April 1970 in or near Cambridge is proving time-consuming.  Florrie died on 10 March 1970 at Fulbourn Hospital prior to which she had been living in Trumpington.  Her grandson attended her funeral and burial, he does not remember in which cemetery or graveyard, but it was not in Trumpington.  There was no obituary in the Cambridge News nor the Trumpington parish magazine.  Her parents had lived in Northampton Street in the parish of St Giles, Cambridge.  Their graves are found in the Ascension Burial Ground in All Souls Lane, off Huntingdon Road, Cambridge, but Florrie was not buried there either.  The Cambridge Family History Society has indexed burials up to 1950 only.  If only the place of burial was shown on the death certificate as it would be in the USA, Canada and Australia.  Any suggestions?

Her husband Charles was cremated in 1972 in Bedford, but the couple had separated long before but not divorced.

Sorry, yes her husband Charles died in Gloucestershire and was cremated, but he and Florence had separated long before either death.  If only the place of burial or cremation was shown on the death certificate as it would be in the USA, Canada and Australia!
