Title: Torquay - Cemetery - Completed With Thanks.
Post by: sarra on Tuesday 10 April 07 08:41 BST (UK)

Is anyone planning a visit to the Torqay Cemetery anytime at all.
I have an Ancestor who is buried there.   There is a Monument erected to their memory.  I would love a photograph of it for my family records.  If some kind person was able to do this for me, I would be ever so grateful. I did ask a person on RAOGK but he did not travel that far.
I'm quite happy to cover the cost involved.
Regards
Sarra.

Hi Sarra,

If you don't mind waiting until after the Easter Holidays, and the kids are back at school I'll do it for you.
Can you let me know where the memorial is, as the cemetery covers a large area.
I live near Torquay so it wont be a major journey.

Julie

Hi Julie,
Many thanks for your generous offer. There's no hurry after the Easter holidays would be great.   Enjoy what's left of the Easter break with your children, they grow up so quickly.
I'll send you a PM with the details.
Thank you.
Sarra

Hi Sarra,

Got your PM.

Spoke to a very helpful lady at Torquay Cemetery this morning, and she will help me locate the memorial when I go to Torquay.  She has a plan of the graves and their plot numbers so it shouldn't be to hard to find it.

Regards

Julie

Hi Julie,
That's good news - it's no easy task trying to find a grave.  I have spent lots of time trying to locate some over here in Australia. 
Have sent a PM with my email address.
Thanks for your help.
