Hello, Please does anyone recognise this name and can tell me Harold's occupation, or anything else about him that would enable me to understand why he was the informant on my great-grandmother's death cert in 1963? (His qualification for being the informant was 'causing the body to be buried'. I am guessing that this was because she had no known next-of-kin, as she was out of contact with most if not all of her family.) I would like to know just this little shred of info about her final years - who 'caused her body to be buried', i.e. (presumably) authorised what funeral there may have been. Thank you in advannce, Maria

Hello all, My great-grandmother died in hospital, in Wallasey, in 1963, apparently completely out of contact with her relatives (who believed her to have died many years previously). The death cert shows the qualification of the informant as 'causing the body to be buried'. So my question is: how are burials arranged for people with no apparant kin? Would that be done by a minister/vicar, by the hospital, by the hospita chaplain? And how could I find out where she was buried, and any further information about my g-grandmother's final years? Thank you in advance, Maria -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Harold E Falcon 1913 - 1969 Date: Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:02:25 +0100 From: Maria Haines <mariahaines@phonecoop.coop> Reply-To: mariahaines@phonecoop.coop To: eng-liverpool@rootsweb.com, birkenhead@rootsweb.com Hello, Please does anyone recognise this name and can tell me Harold's occupation, or anything else about him that would enable me to understand why he was the informant on my great-grandmother's death cert in 1963?
