Hello, is anyone going to Allerton Cemetery in Liverpool,
I have a Edward George Cottingham and his wife buried there. CH23-41 Is the reference.
I would love a Photograph of their headstone if someone would not mind taking a pic for me.
I have Worldwide Ancestry so could repay someone with a look up.
Best wishes...Tim

Looking at the map the only possble I can see is CE 23.....CH may stand for the CHapel...this is smack bang in the centre of the cemetery....with a little luck there will be a gardener working and he will know.....I`ll have look Monday morning......allan ;)

Does the Mary Ann Cottingham in this list happen to be one of yours too, Tim? Just thought I'd point it out whilst Allan was going over there, just in case you hadn't seen it.

Allan, just hope this map works.................. :-[ ;)
Arrgh it should be the bottom map ::)

Good morning....well it`s not CE 23 41.....that was a Tyrer grave....sorry Tim but you are going to have to try and get the reference...at the front of the Cemetery there is a large board with a map of the reference grids...there is NO CH ....I`m only a mile away so I can go another time....let me know via PM if you get any info.......allan :)
-
there is an RC 23 near the Jewish graves on the opposite side of the road - where they Roman Catholics?
there is a CE 2E also - where they Church of England?
NC = I guess for "non-conformists" but nothing in the 20s
any more luck?
-
Hiya Plimmerian....Tim has PM`d me with the correct reference ...I am going sunday morning ..weather permitted..it is forecast rain....allan ;)
-
good luck - hope it holds off while you look!
;-)
Do you know if there is an Allerton Cemetery website, like that of the Toxteth Park Cemetery website?
Many thanks!
Ian.

Hiya Ian...PM Tim ...he has been on the phone to the admin of Allerton Cemetery....as he told me...it took them 3 days ..BUT...they did find the right reference for his rellies and he said they were very helpful.....allan ;)
-
I've got a reference and photo, just wondered if anyone was carrying out a project like that of Toxteth Park!
Best wishes,
Ian.

Allerton Cemetery has a website - www.allertoncemetery.bravehost.com - it has a list of inscriptions as collected by volunteers, there's also a map for the many sections. Allerton cemetery is massive - Good Luck - Johnnie

Tim...change of plan....went out drinking and left my car at my sons yesterday...picking it up in a couple of hours TODAY...do you want me to put the pictures up on this thread or do you want me to PM them to you ?.....allan :)
-
Hello Allan,
How are you? you can put them up on here if you want thats okay,
I appreciate your time and help,
Thankyou.............Tim
-
Tim....so very very sorry , but I spent an Hour on CE 23 ....the lowest grave I could find was 73....900`s down to 100`s ...but under 100 I could only find grave 73...I would say that about 60 in that section are fallen Headstones....about 100 do not have Headstones...so out of about 900 graves 740 have Headstones...and I looked at every one...NO LUCK...
if you do find any other clues let me know ....and I`ll look again, but I couldn`t find the headstone or the grave... ??? ???...allan
