Can anyone tell me where (what cemetery) Harry Henry HERBERT and his wife Florence Katherine HERBERT (maiden surname Swann) are buried?

Harry and Florence lived at various addresses in Rochester, from their marriage about 1897 through Harry's death in 1940.

Harry Henry Herbert was born on 21-Nov-1876 (in Illinois) and died on 24-Aug-1940 (presumably in Rochester). Florence Katherine Swann was born about 1875 (in England). I don't know when Florence died -- I would be grateful if anyone could tell me when she died.

Family sources indicate that Harry and Florence are buried in a cemetery in Rochester, but the sources don't identify the cemetery.

Harry and Florence had one child, son William Samuel Herbert born on 21-Feb-1899. The first name of William's wife was "Goldie". 1930 census records indicate Goldie was born about 1900. I'd also be interested in knowing more about William and Goldie (Goldie's maiden surname, when William died, when Goldie died, and the cemetery where William and Goldie are buried.)

To both people who responded to my posting, thank you. You have been very helpful and your help is most appreciated.

Kathy, I do have access to the census records at Ancestry.com. I'll follow up on your leads right after I have a sandwich. :-)

The 1922 city directory (the year before Goldie was married) shows her working as a clerk, and residing at 417 Exchange St. Also residing there are Charles and Lydia Benjamin.

"Lydia Benjamin"

Obit for her husband, Charles, listing Goldie Herbert as a daughter (1933)

Marriage License for a Lydia Benjamin and a Frank Smith(1934) I'm not sure if this is the same Lydia.

William Herbert and his wife Goldie are listed in the Rochester city directories through 1942. Starting in 1943, he appears alone. She does not appear in the Mt Hope Cemetery Records online, but there is a William Herbert in there, buried 30 January 1958, aged 58, from coronary occlusion, and living on Reynolds St. When the city directories are checked, William S Herbert has a wife Hannah.

William's obit reads that he is survived by his wife Hannah and two stepsons, Ross and Bernard Nevel. When Hannah dies on 14 June 1970, her obit reads that she is survived by her sons Ross and Bernard Nevel, and hat she was buried in Williamsport PA.

But Goldie drops out of the city directories starting in 1943. There's no mention of her in the 1942-1946 inclusive state death indexes. Possibly she and William were divorced.
