This was my Uncle whom I have great memories of.
He was my fathers brother ,who I really did not know much about his life.
He was born in Cumberland ,mother was Eliza Fiddler ,father John Birkett.
Would love to know how he spent his life
Think he spent time a Northumberland.
What was his occupation ?
Who did he marry. Think it was Betty ? Where & when ?
Think he moved south to Kent. .?
When did he die ,where.

Please help
Valerie.

The actual certificate would give where he died and the person who registered his death - Possibly a child or wife. It would help you to work out the most likely place that he was buried.or cremated.

This site may help in the search in Kent http://www.kent-opc.org/Cemeteries.html

Researching:
Anstee/Bucks; Russell/London; Durose; Pease/North Yorks; Kelly/IoM

You say you have great memories of this man, What sort of memories? did he visit you? When? Where? ( might help to put a time frame round him)

Did he have children? Older than you? younger than you?
