I have been asked to help locate this grave in St Cuthbert's but have not been able to do so. Unfortunately the Church has no location for this particular grave and the NMFHS MI's don't have a transcription for him yet either. I'm wondering if perhaps Baxtersp has him on his database?

I have looked for this grave myself. I have the gravestone of wife mary ellen and their children who died as babies, also their grandson. but john is not on the gravestone. always thought he was buried with his parents.
I think checking in the Visiter for a funeral write-up might give a hint - I suppose he could have been buried in Duke Street or even at sea
No, he is in St Cuthbert's burial register. The problem is that St Cuthbert's do not have a grave location for him for reasons explained several times before on this forum. Nor does the society have an MI for him - however the project to record the MI's is ongoing and we may find one for him eventually - hence my hope that Baxtersp might have a photograph on his database.
He was buried on 24th March 1950 aged 76 years and lived at 2 Lytham Road.
