Hi all...I was wondering if, in the even of someone going to Philips Park Cemetery, they might be willing to photograph and send a photo of my Great Grandparents plot and headstone...
I live in Canada, so this is sadly a little difficult for me... :-[
They are in grave 977
Joseph Perkins (great grandfather) died 01/10/1927
Mary Perkins (great grandmother) died 07/02/1912
Not sure what is possible, but if anyone would be willing, I sure would owe them...
Thanks
Craig Hall

Did near enough the same thing with my GGM, I had no idea when she died or even what part of Manchester, but one day a few a months ago I was walking round St Margarets Church yard at Heaton park looking for some of my Hilton clan when I came across her grave. After a tad bit of research it was confirmed she was my GGM.
"Think she may have been calling me" :D
-
hi crkkh....i visited phillips park today,,,,your photos have been e-mailed.....amazingly,,,your perkins are buried less than 30 feet away from my gg grandma,,,,talk about three degrees of separation !!!!! ;D

"Think she may have been calling me" :D

Hi Jilly1
Hello and a warm welcome to rootschat :)
I am more than sure someone "gortonboy" ;D will go and check for you.
Just for future reference, it is always advisable to create a new posting when requesting info etc - but dont worry this great Lancs Gang will sort it out for you ;)
Regards
Ken
-
i will do it,,,,but at the moment i think i will need more than skis to get there,,,,, ;D.......might have to wait for a thaw,,,i would never find the graves under 4 feet of snow,,, :(
-
Gee! Ken, they just don't make grave snoopers like they use to ;D
Now in my day.
Only joking GB :)
Migky ;)
-
Ya right Migky ;D
We would have taken the ski's - a trailer with 5 ton of rock salt - snow plough attached to car - map with google gps grid reference - block and tackle to lift fallen headstones - bags of sand and concrete - spade and fork - 3 rolls of turf - camera ;D and thats just on a summers day "just in case" :D
Hunters today :-\ :o ???

your having a laugh....Amunsden didnt take that much gear with him to the South pole.. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
And we got the elephants over the Alps too :D
Found Atlantis just before it was lost ;D
Beat Germany in a football match since 1966 :D
but sadly never got the last word in with the Mrs :'(
Don't forget to take a spade/pole to dig down as some of them headstones are well covered.

Was it the camera that pushed it over the top ;D

Thanks very much for the replies and advice.
We don't need skis in Australia, we need rain!
'It's so hot here that the birds are using pot holders (oven gloves) to take the worms out of the ground.

Hey GB, just been listening to Radio Manchester and there is a bloke who is leaving to climb mount Everest, but is stuck at the moment and can't get out of Ramsbottom. Better not ask him to take any grave photos in Phillips park then ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi MIDGKY, it really is bad in Rammy, there must be thousands of people up The Rake and Tanners who are on the verge of starvation. Everywhere is a sheet of ice under snow--- very treacherous and of course it`s all hills-- big uns. Bury Council swear they have gritted but little or no evidence of it on the main roads and of course the side roads are dreadful.The car park at Tesco is very dangerous,again a sheet of ice.Ordinary salt seems to have little or no effect when you sprinkle it on paths etc. I`m worried about my neighbours whom I normally shop for but this time I am the invalid and can`t do it for them and they certainly can`t do it for me. Thank goodness for young healthy grandchildren( I knew they would come in for something)Been baking bread today- no delivery at the baker`s( they don`t bake on the premises anymore). First attempt very heavy, second much better but still room for improvement. Will try again tomorrow. In the meantime the R.S.P.B. are trying to find out who is being cruel to the birds by feeding them VERY heavy bread.Happy New Year everyone. Viktoria.

are u trying to wind me up..?? if so.....u r succeeding.?? ;D ;D ;D

I remember the 'Rammy' buses, when Florrie was the conductress, and her husband[whose name escapes me, may have been Jim] used to get the buses through, no matter what!
They never left anyone at a bus stop. ;D
I'm talking mid 70s here.
Sorry, off topic here :-[
