Hi all,
Does anyone live near Gorton Cemetery?
If so would you mind taking a trip there. I'm a little bit confused about my G. Grandfathers grave. He has 2 other people buried with him and I can't tie them in to my family tree.
The grave no. is Bnoncon 319 and is for Henry Albert Hakesley b. 1861, d.1851, buried 7/2/1951.
The burial record states a Robert Henry Hakesley and an Emma Hakesley are interred with him. I need to know if there are any details about them.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Alijet

Hello Alison
Sorry to disappoint you but no headstone at the location of the grave . A great many have been laid down and some cleared by the health and safety people , also to help maintain the cemetery .
I am sure you have checked free BMD but just in case they have Robert Henry as 31 yrs and Emma as 77 yrs .
Hope you find out who they are.
Regards
Eric

I'd appreciate anyone visiting Gorton Cemetery to locate the following individuals:
John Holt (husband)
B: 1878 Clayton Droylsden, Lancashire, England
D: possibly Apr 1920 Gorton, Lancashire, England
Martha Ann Holt (wife - maiden name Unwin)
B: 1883 Gorton, Lancashire, , England
D: possibly 1942 Gorton, Lancashire, , England
Any of John's brothers:
George Holt (b.1883-)
William Holt (b.1890-)
Robert Holt (b.1894-)
Arthur Holt (b.1896-)
Or his children:
Sarah Ann Holt (b.1903) in Gorton, Lancashire, England who married a William Eric Stanley and is definitely buried there.
Robert (b.1904) in Gorton, Manchester, Lancashire, England he never married and again is buried there.
Harold Holt (b.1916) in Chorlton, Lancashire
I have no chance of visiting Gorton and know all of the family lived and died in the area...
Thanks
;)

Hi all,
With Migkys help, I have now worked out that Emma was Henry's sister-in-law. Her husband Robert is buried in Philips Park!! Also, Migkey found some info. on Robert Henry, unfortunately, I'm still not sure how he ties in to my family. I guess I will have to order his death certificate. Thank you Migkey. 8)
Again, thanks to Eric, sorry it was not a successful journey. However, I have written to Gorton Cemetery to find out if anyone has kept a record of removed gravestones. So fingers crossed. If I get any further with this I will let you know.
Thanks to all
Alijet ;D

You can get more infomation of these burials from this site, but you will have to pay for them.
CLICK 4 BURIALS (http://www.burialrecords.manchester.gov.uk/GenSearch.aspx)
You may also get more help if you started your own thread asking for any one to look them up for you.
Gorton cemetery is a large cemetery , just to be going round trying to find grave without further details. That is if they are there, you don't say that they are 100%.
Also Holt is a very common name around that area of Manchester too.

Hi Davidjnr,
I can only see to George Holt's buried at Gorton and they were early 1900's. Have you got the right cemetery. When did George die?

I have no idea when any of them died and was hoping for a family plot.

Good luck with your search, if you haven't even got a death for them?

I am in NZ and come from Manchester and Henry Hakesley is my g grandfather and Robert is his son. He had 3 daughters that we know of. Anna Owen from Llanelly in Wales was Henry's 1st wife. We know that some of the family went to Canada, Australia and we came to NZ. Is this helpful?
-
I have just picked this up, sorry. I am Henry's great grandaughteer from his marriage to Hannah Owen. I do have cemetery plots for some of the family, however their are no gravestones.

Hannah Owen was born in Manchester and her parents John and Margaret Rafferty were Irish immigrants. There unfortunatley is no family plot as the family were classed as poor. Henry and Hannah Owen had four girl, my grandmother Leah being the youngest. When Hannah died of TB, Henry went on to marry again and had two boys Henry and Robert. Can I ask who you are descended from and what specific information you are lookin.g for. I more than happy to supply anything I have
