Find Ancestors

thanks for the update Susan. Glad you found what you wanted

Just to update and to thank for your your helpladies .. Grace's married name was Taylor , she married in Massachusetts in 1918 . Grace died May 1948 and is buried in Saint James church yard Briercliffe Burnley , along with her Mother and father , she died boarding the ship back to the USA , Grace's husband Alfred Taylor died in Lowell Massachusetts in 1962 , there were no children of the family save for Louisa Taylor a child from Alfreds first marriage who died in 1935 age 25. Alfred had a brother Harry also living in Massachsetts who had children but I have been unable to locate them .

many thanks

Nudging for Susan so we can try to find Grace's marriage.

yes I know them they are grace's sblings children will update you and Ann in the week once I have more news thanks for your help

Grace Procter born 1885 exactly, Nelson, Lancs is in 5 people's trees on here. Do you know who they all are?

Passenger lists only go up to 1960 so no good if it was during the 60s.

Looked on Ancestry passenger lists for Burton . Bell , Howarth , Phillipson , nothing but then just thought did Grace sail home or FLY

I will look on acestry see what I can find and update

thanks girls , Grace def died local not Blackpool I will call at cemetery office in the week , and update you thanks for your help

you can find details of all burials at Burnley cemetery along with who is buried in each grave here

http://lan-opc.org.uk/Burnley/cemetery/index.html

this is what I have been trawling through to try to get some possible

Think we need a breather on this one, Susan, until you have visited the cemetery and/or heard from America.

Good luck!

Back to the drawing board then!

unfortunately Nelson burials not on-line

neither of those 2 names appear under Burnley cemetery

They are complete on Ancestry though I think.

No Graces in Blackpool on the Lanc website.

do you know Susan if Grace actually died in Burnley

could she have been staying with eg sister Mona in Blackpool and died there?

1963 deaths are v sparsely transcribed on freebmd as yet

OOOOOHHHHH these look hopeful! I've been looking under Burnley, but in 1936 a new district of Nelson was created and these deaths fits our criteria so far:
