Sorry Where is Norwood.
Would there be any Family History Societies in that area that would have Mi's. Find my Past has Death and Burial Records.

Hi Iris,

Sorry nothing coming up with that name. Having said that the data base holds details of all re-used graves.

If you take a look at that website, their contact details are there. You could always ring or e-mail them.

The only results for Bennett are two graves. The last burial in one was 1854 and the other was 1879, but nothing for Grace.

Chris

Many thanks for your help Chris

I will do as you say

Chris - Can I ask a question regarding the grave of the
1879 buriel was it in the name of Thomas if so it could
be the one because that was her husband

thanks Iris
