Hi Cassy Further to your quest to find 'Who paid for the funeral' Apparently all the records for the cemeteries and crematoria in Sandwell are kept at West Bromwich Crematorium and these can be searched by the public during office hours. There is a fee if the staff do it.(£25) (See Sandwell Council Website - Bereavement Services) BUT this wont necessarily tell you who paid for the funeral. You would need the archives for the funeral director involved for that info. What I suggest is that you phone West Broom. Crem. and ask a) what info you do get from their records b) if they know anything about funeral directors archives and if & where they are kept. I've had a look at the A2A catalogue for Sandwell Archives but can't spot anything to do with funeral directors. Jack Lee & Sons, as mentioned previously, doesn't exsist any more. It was taken over and probably taken over again since. www.historicaldirectories.org (when you can get on to it) will probably have a directory in the right time frame where you can search for the list of funeral directors in Oldbury. Let us know how you get on, All the best. Pat
