John Stanley Stringer, died 1967, Luton.

[IMBER]

A friend of a friend whose father died recently is trying to locate his grandfather’s burial place so that he can scatter his father’s ashes on the grave. He had no idea of when his grandfather died but I’ve managed to establish that John Stanley Stringer (b1922) died in the Luton Registration District in the June Quarter, 1967. I cannot find any record of this burial in Findagrave or The National Burials Index. I’d be grateful for any assistance etc in tracking down the burial place.

Where was he living when he died as the Luton RD covered many areas

The family seem to think it was Luton itself. I'll try to find more but the grandson was only 7 years old when his grandfather died.

Did your friends father have any other siblings who are still alive?  John was b 1921 Birmingham so will only have married in the 1940’s.  No will found with any clues to his address

In the absence of any other info the 1967 death cert should have his address but not guaranteed if he died in hospital etc

He was in Middlesex in 1939

Thank you. The family say he was born 1922 in London. Married Ethel H Waller in Southwark, 1942.

There is no John Stanley Stringer birth in London in 1922.  See GRO online re Sept qtr 1921 birth.  Are they associating the 1939 entry for Middlesex as his birthplace?

Ethel Hilda Waller was b 1919 & remarried 1972 to Charles Moore.  She died 2002 Cornwall. 

Freebmd shows 2 Stringer/Waller births 1945 & 1948 - one of whom will be your friends father.  Is the other sibling still alive & possibly able to provide any info re grave?
