Hi Richard, Thank you for your response. I will pass this information onto Peg. She actually did not attend her mothers burial because they had very little contact her whole life. Her mom and 2nd husband ??? BOBB used to travel between the UK and India. I believe they could not take their money out of India so they went there to spend it. On one of their trips, she died and they had to bury her in India.

They do mantain a detailed record. If you are not sure of the cemetery then the church that conducted the burial service will surely know the cemetery that her Mum was buried at. : : Hope this helps : : Richard Rozario ( a lovely day in toronto - ahem! after all that snow....) : : : : Glynis <glynis@kwikmark.co.za> wrote: : Dear All, : : Sorry to be such a nuisance, but I have just spoken to Peg Fargher who is : coming over to India with her family next month and has just given me this : information. : : Her mother - Mrs. Mary Elizabeth BOBB, died 17 October 1982 could be buried : in the York Cemetery, Prithviraj Road, New Deli.
