Burial search

[garibaldired]

My gt gt aunt Ruby Adelaide Royallminns died 10 October 1950, aged 77.

I am trying to find where she is buried.
She is not buried in West or East Wittering and cemetery services at Chichester District Council have no record of her.
I believe the crematorium in Chichester didn’t open until 1971.
Her will gives no instructions about her funeral or burial.


Does anyone have any other suggestions as to where I could look?

Thanks!

Where was she living when she died, presumably in the Witterings area from your post ?  Was that her permanent address location or was she staying with others, i.e. a care home in that area?

You could look to see if there were any notices in local paper that may have announced her funeral and mentioned burial information.

Yes she was living at Barnside ( a private residence) in West Wittering at the time of her death.

I haven’t been able to find anything in local newspapers so far.

Thanks for the interest!

There is a death announcement in the West Sussex Gazette, 19th October 1950, but no mention of burial arrangements.

Thanks for that
