Hi Could someone please advise me, I have looked on deceased on line for a burial place of a relative but with no luck, could someone tell me if there is somewhere else I can look please

When and where did he/she die, please?

Local newspaper????

deceasedonline has very limited coverage

A similar site to Deceasedonline is Findagrave.

If you know when and where then the councils cemetry officer may be able to help.

At lot depends on the when though.

Thank you, his name was Thomas Scott and he died in the late 1970s in Mansfield (almost sure)

Hi I have found his death 2nd quarter 1979 in Mansfield but no information about where he is buried or cremated and I have no idea how to find him

Get a copy of the death cert for FULL info about date and place of death.
Mansfield is the DISTRICT, not the exact place of death.


Then google for contact info for nearest cemetery

This is the only Thomas Scott death in 2nd qr 1979 in Mansfield:

Deaths Jun 1979 (>99%)
SCOTT THOMAS ALBERT C 25DE1917 MANSFIELD 8 395

Is that him?


His birth (illegitimate):

SCOTT, THOMAS ALBERT CLAYTON -
GRO Reference: 1918 M Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 07B Page 700

His memorial isn't listed on Findagrave - but many aren't.

Follow ErikaH's advice in the previous post.

I don't see him in 1939.

In 1921 he's in Nottingham:

Thomas Albert Layton
Scott
1918
[Birthplace] Nottinghamshire, England
[Residence ] Nottingham
Nottingham
Nottinghamshire

He's with Albert [surname?], Annie E [surname? ], Annie Elizabeth Scott 1920, and 1 other.

SCOTT, ANNIE ELIZABETH -

Thank you everyone for all your help
