Merridale is about 5-10 min drive out of the main wolverhampton city centre, i live nearby to it, it is a large, very tidy cemetery and easy to get around too :)

Truebritmega,

I live in Canada and have relatives buried in Merridale.  Sometime if you are wandering around the cemetery could you possibly check out plot 18190 and see who all is buried there for me?  I know Florence Adey, Sarah Ann Adey and husband Thomas are there, but am curious if any other family members are also buried in the same plot or adjoining plots.  Another plot Im interested in is 22524b, Albert Brentnall Adey.

Thanks
Alison
