Hi leila,

Don't worry. You're doing fine
Put "Uplands Cemetery Smethick" into a google search and see if you can get an address or an e mail. You can then ask if he is there. Do the same with Francis Greenhill cemetery and see what comes up. Surely your mum knows where he was buried and Whitton would have a list of grave numbers.
Some places charge for information so check first.
Whitton cemetery is listed on Find A Grave - Millions of Cemetery Records.
