It is unlikely that if Jewish he will have been cremated as it is highly unusual for Jews to cremate.

Thanks Paul, I'll give that a try. I think that the reference to the crematorium was just regarding the location of the records staff, but it's helpful to know that Jews rarely use cremation.

Yes, I realise that about cremation Paul, but Southport Crematorium is just the place where the archives are kept for all cemeteries (except those in the grounds of Churches and of course Synagogues). Your mention of Broadgreen Cemetery reminds me that every time I went home from work in Liverpool, or every time I went into town for ten years or more, I passed the Broadgreen Cemetery and read the inscription on the gate, which was written in English on one gate and Hebrew on the other "Here the Weary Are At Rest" which seemed very beautiful to me as a young person. This was after we had left the Fairfield/Kensington district of the Deane Road Cemetery, which I had passed on my way to the Library or the Cinema but never noticed.
