    3. If you are unable to directly access the burial registers to find out who is actually in the grave in South Shields, then can I suggest you look at this https://portal.southtyneside.info/eservices/frmFindAZ.aspx?FunctionId=64 they have been most helpful in the past. regards Jim Ken Urwin wrote: > Hello listers, > > I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to help solve my query. > > I have a MARY IRVING URWIN (nee GRAYSON) who was born in South Shields. She lived in Birmingham with her husband, my great uncle WILFRED BARWICK URWIN, at least up to the time of his death there in 1923. Mary died on 21st January 1964 aged 86 years and there is a GRAYSON family headstone in Harton Cemetery, South Shields dedicated to her and other members of her original family. This headstone gives her full name and date of her death. With this knowledge I assumed that she had returned to Shields after her husband's death in Birmingham,but I now have photographic evidence that the headstone of her husband in Birmingham cemetery also states that she is also in the same grave as he in Birmingham showing the same date of her death as the Shields headstone. > > Any logical explanation would be most welcome. > > Regards to all, > Ken Urwin, > Middlesbrough. > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-DURHAM-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
