My grandmother was Freda Bickle, second wife of Sidney John Henry Bickle. All I know is that she died in 1946, possibly of a blood clot soon after child birth.
They lived in the Kingsbridge area. Sidney was left with 10 children after her death and married again after.
I have searched all public records looking for her place of burial as I do not believe Sidney could afford to have her cremated. So far, there has been no record of her burial anywhere.
In a separate issue, it was a belief of my late mother that that Freda went into the marriage to Sidney with a son of her own, Michael Rowland. All mum told me was that Michael died at the age of 15 in a motorcycle accident. Again, there is no record of his birth, death or burial in public records that I can access from where I live in Australia. I know he existed as I have a photograph of him, aged about 13-14.
Freda was the daughter of Alfred Rowland and his wife Beatrice (nee Horn). She was born around 1909 and lived in and around the Tavistock area.
Any help regarding how to find a burial site for with her or Michael would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you
