I have a lady - Marjorie Emma Newbould (nee Wright) - whose son in Australia has not much longere to live. He has specified that he would like his ashes to be scattered on his mother's grave. I cannot find any trace of a grave, but her death record from Q4, 1961 is Vol 2b Page 626 and is located in Hemsworth. I wonder if you are able to locate her and whether she was buried or cremated. I am unable to locate her husband's (John Henry Newbould) resting place. He died in 1969
