Frank Wheeler - Forest of Dean FHT Forum

Hello,

I am looking for Burial/Cremation Records on my Grandfather, Frank Wheeler, who died at Hampton House, Minsterworth, 26/10/1956. Existing Family members do not know where his last resting place would be and think he could of been Buried or Cremated in Gloucester. I believe that Hampton House was a home for the elderly.

Thankyou for your help & reply.

What I'm trying to find is where my Grandfather is Buried or Cremated as none of the existing Family know this. I'm also not sure if cremation was an option back in 1956.
I have his Death, Birth & Marriage Certificates but it is his final resting place I am after.

Kind Regards,
Ellen.

Hi Slowhands,

Thanks for the info you've sent me. I assume then that even if I go to Coney Hill and do the search myself they will still charge £36.37 ?

Thanks again,
Ellen.
