find a headstone!
« on: Thursday 10 November 22 15:00 GMT (UK) »
Am looking to find a relations grave

If I order a death certificate will it be on that ?

It won't be on the death certificate but the place of death will be which will give you a start on where to look for churches or cemeteries in that local area.

You could check newspaper reports in case anything was mentioned - what year did the person pass away? 

Did they have a spouse who may have been buried in the same place?

Keep in mind not everyone had or could afford a headstone.

Ah amazing thank you for that, yeah figured out about the death cert
The ladies death was in 1965 and the area is down as Neath!
Spouse death 1970 and am sure there is a grave and headstone!
Just having difficulty narrow down the area
