My Greig family lived in the Botchergate/Caldergate area's of Carlisle from the 1850's onwards. Does anyone know which church/graveyard would have been used following their deaths and whether MI's for these have been published?

MI's for these have been published?
You should be able to find any marriages from 1850 onwards on the complete marriage index's or the free bmd for England and Wales.

I don't know if this is any help http://www.carlislehistory.co.uk/carlislecemetery.html

There was Trinity church at the end of Caldewgate - since demolished and everything grassed over but I'm struggling for a church near Botchergate, possibly the parish church next to the cathedral.

Hi all
Thank you for your responses. I have copies of most BMD's for my Greig ancestors who lived in Carlisle. It is their resting place and MI's that I am interestred in finding. I have tried the Carlisle Cemetery web site and I'm not convinced that the Greig's listed there are mine! I was also looking for 1850-1900's more specifically. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
It maybe that the cemetery used is no longer there and no MI inscriptions were recorded?
Thanks anyway, but if anyone has any other thoughts then please let me know.

hi
there was a church on botchergate but i cant remember the name. it has now been knocked down and grassed over and a few benches placed there

My family all lived in that area, london Road in particular, and they were baptised and married from St. John's and buried in Carlisle cemetery. St. John's was consecrated in 1867 - don't know if that helps?

You're right bingorudd! Next to what was the old cinema and now unsold flats. And I would guess enough room for a small cemetary same as Trinity.
