I am trying to find out where my GGrandad was buried. He died in 1941 in Crumpsall Manchester. I have tried most of the cemeteries I know and no luck. If anybody can help I would appreciate it. His name was Alexander Fitzsimon, some variation on the spelling, d.o.b 01/04/1867 in Manchester.
Thanks

Hi Margaret,

Yes I have the death certificate with all details. Most of the deaths here now are on computer at the cemetery or crem, but still had no luck. Will ring Parks and Cemeteries to ask. I do live in Manchester so that is easy enough. Thanks for your help. Ann

Hi Joan, I keep saying that I must go into Manchester and have a search, but I hate Manchester, haven't been there for about three years and that was getting off a train and onto a bus home. Its strange to me as I was born within walking distance to the centre and worked there from 15 to 28. I will make a fleeting visit.

Look for a Cemetery near to where he live rather than to where he died
