Hi
I'm just wondering whether any kind person would be going to Rochdale Cemetery, weather p[ermitting and would be willing to look for a grave and take a photo?
I've had some brilliant help from the ladies in the office over the years but never hasd chance to visit, though I came to Rochdale itself a few times when I was young.
I've got full details for the graves they sent me, but one in particular, I think may have a grave stone. I don't know about the others, so I'd only ask forr this one. The first burials were Charlotte and John Showler.
Also, does anyone know if there's a War Memorial there? The graves for the people I'm after won't be there, and if there's an easy way of finding a grave if you know the names and dates?
I know it's a big ask, so I won't be too surprised if noone can do it, but I keep looking at the papers and thinking, "I wonder...???"
Best wishes

Emms - I'm not able to help with a visit, but thought you might find this site of interest - the Showlers are listed

Hi mrshmrsh
Thank you for the reply. So quick too!
I've actually seen the site thank you. The two Showlers there are ours. In fact I emailed Dave Ollerton once and he confirmed what I'd windered, that if the grave is on his site, there probably is a stone.
Also, if any of them had a stone, this would be the one I'd guess at as they were in business and some family were stonemasons.
That's why I asked how easy it is to find a gyou have a name and date, in case I can find any more.
Thank you for your post.
Best wishes

Hi Emms,
I visit Rochdale every fornight for a weekend but don't have a lot of time actually there, as I live in the Netherlands.
If you can find out a rough idea of where abouts in the cemetery to start looking( it is huge!) I'd be willing to go and photograph the grave for you. I think there is a war memorial there.....it's a long time since I visited it.
Regards,

Thank you so much. That's really generous.
I know you don't have very long here. I don't know how you manage coming every fortnight any way, so imagine you're pretty well commited. So don't feel any pressure at all., unless on a really nice day you really would like an outing.
I do have the full papers and maps with the graves close by as well. I will post more details and pm you with the full lot - I need to get the latest scanner commuting with the computer though!
I will have a look at the Crey's in amongst my own details too. No concrete link but they keep appearing!
Thank you again.
Best wishes

Hiya
Did you get anyone to take a photo for you? if you contact the Cemetery Office a member of staff can take a photo for you and either email or post it to you. They're really busy and short-staffed at the moment, but when they have time they'll do it.
And there is a war memorial.
Hope this helps

My wife is the 2nd great granddaughter of the William Carey 1833 (Wigan) mentioned by MancsMan in a posting above.
I know from his marriage certificate that his father was Patrick, but am at a dead end regarding further progress.
Would MancsMan be willing to contact me either here or offline to give me advice on how to proceed
Thanks

I am also looking for Cornelius Carey from Manchester / Ireland. He is my 3rd GGrandfather. He married Ann McCain. I have a brick wall as Im unable to find any Irish records or a marriage cert. Any help here would be appreciated pretty please.
We must be related as William Carey 1833 (his son) is my 3rd GUncle :)
I know this is a really old thread but Im new to this and hopefully some of you are still here :)
