HelloAll,
Just read on this site that nasty netty has a layout of the Linthorpe cemetery with plot numbers. Would really like to get hold of a copy.

Hi,
Would I also be able to have a plan of the cemetery? I have (too) many relatives in there!
Many thanks for any help,
Claire

Many thanks - have had a quick look at the site - my word - what a lot of information.
I am looking for a particular grave in Linthorpe, Grave Number 108F, I have no idea whether there is a headstone, (I would have thought so, this was a fairly well-to-do and well known gentleman). His name does not appear on the list on this site.
Must look again to see if there is a map.
Thank you

I'm sure there is a Porteous gravestone just up from the gates on the Acklam road entrance !

Many thanks mikeguess. From time to time I believe there is a group of rootschatters who visit the local cemeteries and will take photographs. As I am not in the U.K. I will keep the information you have sent me on hand for the next occasion. Most appreciated.

Is anyone able to tell me if the plan includes graves with no headstones? I have not found my family on the gravestone project website and I think they must have been buried there as they lived in the Linthorpe area, but I doubt if they would have been able to afford a gravestone.
If anyone is able to look up the name Cromack for me, I'd be very grateful. They were the only family of this name in Middlesbrough so any Cromacks would be my family.
Best wishes

Hi Mirf
Thanks for your reply. I'm looking for the family of Abraham Cromack (not him though, he died elsewhere). He had two wives who died in Middlesbrough, Martha and Mary Ann, plus a few infants. Also a wife named Esther who died in Stockton. I've already found them on the censuses.
The Samuel and Ann you mention are only very distant relations but they lived in Stockton and I wasn't aware that Linthorpe would cover burials from Stockton.
Best wishes
Liz
