Bit of practical advice sought. I'm trying to find the graves of four children who were killed in a house fire in Essex in the mid sixties.
All that's known is that they were buried by the council, and bizarrely to me, the graves, according to their families' tradition, were poorly or unmarked. So far council and Parish records haven't come up with anything. But then the people who looked weren't exactly sharp.
I know the area, the date and the forenames of the victims, but lack their surnames.
Does anyone here have advice for further search strategies?
