I've just discovered in the National Burial index that one of my Ancestors was buried at this Cemetery. I've been there to have a look and i know that it is somewhat delapidated but does anybody know if it is at all possible to Locate a specific grave here?
My ancestor is Betsy Kennedy, Died April 16th 1907, buried April 20th.
I'm not expecting to find that actual grave (but it would be a bonus if i did), I'd just like to know if there is anybody else in the same grave. I'm hoping to findher Husband John was was my Gt Gt Grandfather and proving to be somewhat elusive.
Hope somebody can help.
Regards Kev.

Hi Kev,
The Heritage Library at Stockport hold the cemetery records for Willow Grove.
The record would usually tell you the last residence of the deceased, day and sometimes the time of burial, plot number and number of grave. Occasionally the record will say how many people are in the grave but to find out if her husband was buried with her you would have to know when he died and then cross check them.
