Help!

James Albert Wood died between 1950 & 1965 in Brixton which I understand is a sub-district of Lambeth.

I have been told he would probably have been buried in Lambeth Cemetery Tooting

How would I go about finding if he is in this Cemetery please?

Would it be possible for me to find him and his wife Lilian Mary on the electoral roll for that time without an address?

Electoral rolls are listed by address within parliamentary wards within a district so without an address it would be a very long search.

Is it likely that they had a phone?
If so they may be found on the old BT lists on Ancestry.

Hi Barbara

His birth was 5 Jan.1889 this may well be him. Lilian went to live with her family in 1965 she was a widow.

Thankyou so much for your help I will send for the Cert. and hope I have the right one.

Kind Regards
Margaret
