Looking for the burial site of Albert Thomas Braden who died 18 April 1922 with last known address 55 Vale Road, Portslade. His wife was Frances (Patching) Braden who died 27 Feb 1926 (17 Mortimer Row, Hove) I’ve reached ‘brick walls’ after many searches with SFHS, Parishes, Archives….Thanks for any suggestions. DeAnn McAllan

Hello DeAnn, My Uncle & Aunt from Lancing were both cremated at 'The downs Crematorium' . After emailing several local councils & Cemeteries I was led to the Downs site. People were so very helpful. Also you might try newspapers of the time for a funeral notice & Funeral directors if the above fail. Do you know where his wife was buried / cremated? adur-worthing.gov.uk woodvale@brighton-hove.gov.uk thedowns.crematorium@dignityuk.co.uk brighton-hove.gov.uk good hunting, Wendy M. 15695 On Friday, 24 October 2014, 12:40, DeAnn McAllan via <sfhg@rootsweb.com> wrote: Looking for the burial site of Albert Thomas Braden who died 18 April 1922 with last known address 55 Vale Road, Portslade.

Assuming that you have checked all the neighbouring parish burial registers, you might like to consider that the burial took place in a civil cemetery. There is one in Portslade, one in Hove and several in Brighton. Brighton & Hove City Council own & maintain them all and you will find all the details at http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/community-and-life-events/deaths-fun erals-and-cemeteries/brighton-hove-portslade-cemeteries ; that's a very long URL, so you may need to copy and paste it into your browser to make sure that you get to the correct page. The office for enquiries is at Woodvale Crematorium and their E-mail address is woodvale@brighton-hove.gov.uk . Hove Cemetery is also known as Aldrington Cemetery and the cemetery burial registers are deposited at The Keep for the period Jan 1882 to Sep 1926 under ref: DO/A34 . Be aware that the other cemetery registers are not deposited and there is a substantial search fee for obtaining details of any grave. See http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/sites/brighton-hove.gov.uk/files/WV%20fees%2 02014-15.pdf for further details. There is also a cemetery at nearby Southwick and that is maintained by Adur District Council. It is in West Sussex, but if you don't find your family elsewhere, it might be worth thinking about searching here as Southwick & Portslade are adjacent parishes. Details will be found at http://www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/cemeteries-and-crematorium/cemeteries/southw ick-cemetery/ and they also have a link to their contact page. Their registers have not been deposited, but I found the staff very helpful when I contacted them earlier this year about Shoreham Cemetery. All they need is a name and date of death and they do not make a charge for searching their registers. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex SFHG Member No: 3323
