The first of these is Grave Search, that is searching for Graves of famous people. There are a number of different ways you can search their databases, including by location, claim to fame, by date (died or born) or just by keyword. Here's some examples:
- George Harrison, musician.
- Sir Winston Churchill, statesman.
- John Churchill, The 1st "Duke of Marlborough" (ancestor of Sir Winston), soldier.
- Kenneth Williams, comic and actor.
- Laurence Olivier , actor.
- Bing Crosby, singer and actor.
- Elizabeth I, queen.
- Mick Ronson, guitarist.
- Don Bradman, cricketer.
- Arnold Toynbee, historian.
Can't find Karl Marx on this for some reason, which is somewhat strange given both his high provide and clearly marked grave in Highgate Cemetery, but the good news is that you can find the details for the Marx Brothers (Chico, Groucho, Zeppo, Gummo and Harpo).
