Wonder if anyone could help me, I am trying to find out where my great grandfather Henry Walter Humphries could be buried. He died in a coal mining accident in Hamstead Colliery, 1905 he also lived in Hamstead/. I do know his body was exhumed for an autopsy. but have no idea what cemetery he would be buried in. Handsworth cemetery did not open till later. Does anyone have any ideas how I can find this out. Any help would be appreciated as I now live in Canada, and have no way of knowing how to access this information. He was born in1867 Yardley and died in 1905 in Hamstead. Thanks in advance.
