Hi J Hennessey: My great-grandfather William SAWDON was buried in Larpool Lane Cemetery, in 1923, which seems to be the most likely place for Whitby burials. You can contact the Scarborough Bereavement Services for any details.

The Whitby Gazette may have an in memoriam notice. You can find them at: editorial@whitbygazette.co.uk You may also find it helpful to look at the Whitby Yahoo Groups web site (and join, if you want more information from a very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful group) at: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/thewhitbygroup/ HTH Martin Willcocks Taylorsville, UT, USA.

I am looking for information about where my 2G grandfather would be buried or would have been cremated. The GRO states his death was registered in Whitby in 1952. Is there anyone out there who could point me in the right direction?
