RE: information

Hi, could anyone tell me if there is somewhere I can look to find an address of a plot holder? I've been trying to locate my GGF Benjamin ward and I've found a
burial entry on this site and it states that he was buried 10th of April 1907 and the plot owner is Elizabeth ward.( I believe that this could be his sister in law ) If I've found the right person? It would tie in with my research because I can't find him on the 1911 census. I understand that he was in Coventry in 1907 because my grandad Thomas was born there in 1907 then by 1911 Thomas was living with his uncle Job ward ( Benjamin's brother) and his wife Elizabeth . Any Information will be a big help
Thanks

RE: information

Hi Moira, thank you for that information, I can now dis-regard that ben as a potential relative. I still can't find him on the 1911 census so it looks like he died in between 1907 and 1911. I know for certain that he was in Coventry in 1907 { info from a family member } I also understand that his wife Alice moved back to Sheffield leaving my grandad Thomas with his dad in Coventry but by 1911 I have Thomas living with his uncle and his wife. looks like I will have to do some more digging
Thanks once again . you have helped me solve some of my puzzle
Regards
Ann
