Hello Annette

I am sorry to hear about your father and do wish you luck in your search. I don't believe I have any specific information to help you. One of my doctors when I was a little boy fifty years ago was a lady doctor named Dr. Dunn but possibly no relation to your family.

Hi Annette, you don't need to pay
if you know your fathers name and date of birth, you could get his death certificate from Liverpool Registary Office that will cost you about £7,
http://www.liverpool.gov.uk/Business/Business_and_street_trading_licences/Other_licenses/Registrar/index.aspdo this will record where he died and the name of the person who registed the death, do you know where he died that might give you a clue which is the nearest cemetery or crematorium?.

If you contact the main office at Allerton they might be able to help you in your quest.
Come back for further help, there are a number of people on this site who might offer more suggestions
Let us know how you get on.

Dear Annette,

I've checked the records and your father's death was not registered in Liverpool but Lancaster. The death was recorded in quarter 3 ( July to Sept) 1976 at Lancaster ref 40 1556. He was born 15 Oct 1935. It's best to get the death certificate from the General register office. This can be done on line via

Sorry, I jumped in with my size tens then. I just saw the title thread on the home page and just had to have a look. "Looking for my fathers"

Thank you everyone for your help, i know where he died but his sister took his body to liverpool and registard his death in toxteth, i have sent emails to churches but so far no replys, have phoned loads of places but have got to write in, so thats my next step thank you again

sorry was told it was toxteth not lancaster thanks for looking,

Dear Annette,

Your father could still be buried in Liverpool. You'd need to check with Liverpool Cemeteries Department once you've got the exact date of death from the death certificate.

It's the cemeteries you probably need to contact, not the churches.
All cemeteries have records of who is buried there, and will be able to give you the site of the grave, even if it's unmarked.

My father is buried in allerton cemetery, my dads sister told me, i made contact with her but none want to have anything to do with us what a shame, but cant find record of burial in allerton, love annette

Annette, Allerton is huge, you need to contact the office and ask them to search their records.

Annette.

John's correct, Allerton Cemetery will have records.
It's very sad that your father's family feel that way.
One of my close relatives committed suicide, and some of the family have no sympathy for her, which is something I can't understand.

I dont understand it either, all we want to know is where he is and as much info about him as pos but they are making it harder. My sister and i have only just got in touch after almost 20yrs , from annette

Annette, my situation is very close to yours, but I don't want to go into details.
It's wonderful that you're in touch with your sister after all this time.
Do get in touch with Allerton Cemetery - if your father is there, they will be able to tell you exactly where he is.

I will, iv tried phoning but no answer, so im going to write and hope they can find him. thank you and i hope you find all your looking for from annette

Annette have a look at this site

I would like to thank you all for your help, i think this is a great web site with very helpfull people, i am pleased to say i have found where my dad is buried at last, me and my sis who i have only just started having contact with can at last go and pay our respects to him for the first time ever horay, its something we both agree we need to do as we didnt know him, once again thank you your all great peeps love annette

Dear john thank you for the link to allerton am very gratefull. The saying " If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from". is so true, i wish our mum could understand that, she has turned against me and my sis coz we are looking into our past, as we were put in care when we were babys, so sad love annette

found where me dad is but its an unmarked grave so we want to put headstone up but need permission from the person who owns grave, trouble is they dont want contact with us ( to many bad things with my dad). why do we have to suffer coz of that, my dad deserves some dignity in his death and its one way of my sis and i to pay our respects to a man we never knew, truly unfair

Always in all the bad things, we can extract something positive. Your search has served you to know good people, who has tried to help you without of economic or similar interest. Sometimes, to know people in the same situation, it is great I console. In Spain, there is a proverb: Badly of many people, console of idiots. It looks like a bilge, but it is true. Luck, I wish the better thing you!!!!!

Thank you marie for your kind words
