Croft brickwall solved - Burial help now?

I have previously asked for help on the forum for Elizabeth Croft my grandmother's sister who was born 1885 and adopted when her mother died in 1888. Her father Richard died in 1934 and his address was 11 Harford Lane. I recently re-checked the 1939 census using just the year 1885 not Elizabeth's full birth day and Eureka she was living at 11 Harford Lane but with her birth date as 23rd February 1885 instead of the correct date 7th March 1885. I have now obtained her death certificate for 30/9/1950 at 42 Belmont Road (Newsham General) and her address was still the same as 1939. The informant was from the hospital.
My problem is now to find her burial, her Mother and Father are both buried in Ford Cemetery in Grave G114. I have checked on Ancestry and nothing is coming up for Liverpool burials for her and I am hoping that she may be in the same Grave as her parents. Does the Record Office have the records for the people in the Grave?
Hoping for help to complete this.

There is a reverse look up on microfiche at the Record Office. As today is my regular day I could check it to see, but it seems you have been given an alternate source so my help might not be required.

Hi
Thanks for that link Blue, I have put the request on so hopefully will hear soon. If she is not in the Ford Grave I may be back for help to find her in another graveyard.

Well with that response I really do feel unwanted and unloved, but I will nevertheless say that she is certainly not in that grave, the latest being in 1934.

Sadly not, my information was gained by spending my time doing a look up, which as I thought people knew I was always willing to do for Society members. Must do a rethink as to where my time is most valuable in future I suppose.

Hello Mary
Please accept apologies as I thought that you meant you wouldn't need to spend time looking as the link would have the information and you did say that I had been given an alternative source and I may not need your help. I know how much time you put into looking for information for members and how much it is appreciated. You are really loved by all the forum members including me so please don't let that stop you from helping.
Apologies for wasting your time.
Eileen
