Hi Im trying to get some info on Southern Cemetery Manchester trying to find out were two graves are located and if they have head stones grave numbers are 1232 surname on grave is tonge and contain 2. the other is plot 319 and surname of this one is Stephens.
Thanks Ian

Hi Ian & welcome, you left out a bit of information that might help any one looking for your graves. Without this extra info, they don't stand a chance of finding the graves.
Your Tonge gave 1232.
Should be:
C-of-E section
Grave NO Y 1232
In that grave Thomas William Tonge & Edward Samuel Tonge.
C-of-E Section
Grave NO K 319
In that grave Samuel Stephens, Jane Stephens, John Edwards & Ada Edwards

Hi Ian,
I live near Southern Cemetery, if you can't get there I will go and have a look for you and if there are Gravestones will take photos and send them to you.
Kind Regards

I have found a burial record at Southern Cemetery of a man who may be my grandfather, the burial number is 93792, name David Lynch, Date of burial 12/01/1924, burial Ground C of E Section S grave 182, he would have been about 30-40 years of age, I have searched on all the free sites for a record of his death without success, so a bit of a mystery. Any help would be appreciated, if anyone is every down there and can check this man's age I would be grateful.

Hi,
A warm welcome to Rootschat.
The actual burial date is 1st December, 1924.
David Lynch December Quarter registered Chorlton Aged 66. Volume 8c page 957.

He was buried 1 Dec 1924 (not 12 Jan 1924), maybe the difference between British and American way of writing dates caught you out. There is a death registration for David Lynch, reg District Chorlton, Dec Quarter, 1924 - Chorlton 8c 957. He was aged 66.
Chorlton was /is a area of Manchester.
Mosiefish posted similar, but I have left this as there is a tiny bit more info!

Have you considered this one:
David Lynch aged 29 registered September Quarter 1922 Chorlton Volume 8c page 618.

Hi & welcome to rootschat.
You do know all these other Lynch family members are buried in that same grave?
David died age 66
A Cooper by trade.
Last known address: 12 Stafford street Hulme.
From these details you should know if he is yours or not?
Don't for get by this time people who were C-of-E also got cremated and there records are a little harder to come across.

Thanks for all the support on this from everyone who took the time to reply and for putting me right about the dates, He may well be the younger of the two men mentioned, I have a feeling his family were connected to the railway at Gorton originally.

Hi Ian and Zostar,
I've not been to the cemetery yet, but hopefully one day this week weather permitting as I have a bit of a list going. Will let you know what I find.

Hi MIGKY,
Thanks for the link to Phil, I don't mind as I'm in Southern quite a lot and did a project for the Machester Regiment a while ago.

Hi Ian,
I finally went to Southern Cemetery and got some photos for you, please PM me your email and I will send them. Sorry you've had to wait so long.

I would just like to thank Beannie for the photos from Southern Cemetery but it looks like these are the wrong family and are not connected to mine, I dont seem able to track my Samuel Stephens down but will keep trying.

Hi Teleman, it might be worth you paying for the full burial records next off the Manchester burial site. As you might find it hard to get some one to go on cemetery searches for you if your not sure or have the right graves to start with. I am not sure if you have any idea how big most of the council owned cemeteries are, and how hard it can be to locate graves if they still have headstone.
Good luck with your search.
Migky ;)
Well done Beannie, very good of you to trog round the cemetery especially this time of year.
-
Hi Teleman,
I'm sorry it wasn't the Samuel Stephens you were looking for. I hope you find where he is buried.
Migky,
I don't mind going to the cemetery, I just wait for a day when it's not raining. I have to go back in the next few days to do some more anyway.
A good pair of waterproof shoes and a brolly are essential, oh and ofcourse a map!
Regards
Beenie
