    Sue's father was born 26th November 1915, Newton Heath, Manchester.  She has his birth Certicate as well as her Mother's.  On checking through all of these she has noticed that in their upset, of her Father's passing the information,  that the wrong birth year was put on the Death Certificate; it reads 1913 not 1915.
    
    Sue's Father is not with his parents grave.  He wanted to be cremated so his ashes are in Hollinwood Crem which is between Failsworth and Oldham, Lancashire.
