Death Certificate of Samuel Arthur BORDER 1963

 

My last post was the Death Certificate of Eileen Helen BORDER nee HODGE (1900-1947, my great grandmother - http://thehistoryofmatt.blogspot.com/2020/11/death-certificate-of-eileen-helen.html). As Eileen's ashes were 'taken away' after cremation, I wanted to find where her husband Samuel BORDER was buried to trace their final resting place.

Well, it's interesting that there are numberous family errors: Hodges should be Hodge, Liston should be Litson, Castles should Castle, etc.

Sam was also cremated, and I have not been able to find a place their ashes were interred.

Finally I'd note that Sam Border spent the latter years of his life living with his daughter Norma (married BURGESS) and their family - that is the 'usual residence' in Granville given. More to learn.
