Wilfred Charles Merrill 1859 to 1931

I am trying to find please the burial of the above person. I have found his wife Harriet who died in 1932 and two of her children buried in the C of E section of the General Cemetery but no Wilfred.

I am sure Wilfred died in Sheffield and I am at a loss now where he is buried.

As always your help is appreciated.

John

Hi John, There is a lot more information on Familysearch including Grace's marriage. regards Barry

Re: Wilfred Charles Merrill 1859 to 1931

Cheers Barry, I have now found him and it makes sense who he is buried with. Wilfred was illegitimate and he is buried with his mother and the person his mother married.
