I have just found a card from 1938 that says Lilly Cass was interred at forest hill cemetery - family grave number 7330. I would be interested to know who else might be there, so does anyone have access to this kind of record, or can point me the direction of a web site that could help.

Many thanks

Thank you Polly Poppet - that is her, died 12th August 1938.

My problem is that I can't find a web site that I can check the grave number, maybe a site does not exist - but if one did then maybe I can find out who else is buried there.

I have just found a site called deceasedonline, no good in this instance as the person has to have been dead 75 years. And of course its not complete but it could be useful for other people

You could also try www.findagrave.com.....which can be quite interesting because even if you don't find your particular ancestors, you might find information about the cemetery.
The site only holds details and photos given from subscribers, so to speak, it's not transcribed from a national database or anything, but seems to have a lot from war grave enthusiasts, including photos.

I'm not sure I'm doing a very good job of explaining this - give it a try and you'll see what I mean!!!
