There is a marriage in Salford in 1984 that may be appropriate. However as both parties may still be alive I will not put details of names. Salford, Feb 1984 vol 39, page 457. E H to P J G L.

Looks as if the marriage Ozgirl found is correct. The man she married seems to have married again in 1995. Probably still alive.

I see she died as Hanvey but not sure why.

There are two separate deaths in Q2 1994, but one is 12-years older than the other:

LEONARD, ELIZABETH YoB 1960 GRO Reference: DOR Q2/1994 in SALFORD (0111A) Reg TA39 Entry Number 290

HANVEY, ELIZABETH YoB 1948 GRO Reference: DOR Q2/1994 in SALFORD (0111B) Reg TB36 Entry Number 131

I don't understand when you say "i have found the grave and it has Elizabeth Leonard???i i cannot find anything relating to leonard,it is her grave as i have been into the cemetery office". Are you suggesting that the wrong person is in the grave, or that an additional person (Elizabeth Leonard) is buried in there too?

If its the latter then based on the marriage record posted by Ozgirl it sounds to me like a family plot.

Perhaps you can be a bit clearer about exactly what the burial register and/or headstone says?

[redron]

the headstone says --Elizabeth Leonard, d May 11 1994,aged 46,also on the stone is Jason Hanvey,D July 5 2007,aged 17,I was told the the grave is a family grave belonging to Hanvey,i couldent find another marriage ,so i am going to find what i can about J G Leonard

[cbcarolyn]

there are 3 children born around the right time with MMN taylor with surname Hanvey

search on here and you will see them, looks as though they could be their children

I assume that they are the Manchester births?

Can you explain to us why you think this grave is your sister's?

It is possible that Elizabeth b. 1960 married PJGL as she would be 24yrs old at marriage.

Elizabeth Hanvey b.1948 d.1994 could be her mother, which I take it is your sister redron ? Maybe Elizabeth Hanvey did purchase the grave plot and her daughter and grandson predeceased her? The marriage cert would confirm which Elizabeth married PJGL, and therefore possibly solve the mystery of which Elizabeth it is in the grave.
