Reasons why the image for this memorial was requested

George Widdison is my great grand uncle - he was the husband of Agnes (nee Thornton). My records indicate he was born in 1879 (from census returns 1881, 1891, 1901 & 1911) so I think you either have his age or year of death wrong on your record? I suspect (but can't be sure) from FreeBMD that your death date is wrong - a George Widdison died age 84 in 1963 in Shardlow which spans Derbyshire; but I can see no matching BMD record for a George Widdison in 1953.
