Hi, I'm trying to find where my grandma's aunt was buried. I have a receipt for a plot bought on the 20th may 1911 by William Holmes, they lived at 19 Rochester avenue salford and it was a class d church of England grave. I even have the plot letter and number g58 but have no idea where exactly they are buried. I also have a receipt for a casket and carriage from an undertaker but unfortunately the name has been lost so all i have is an address 41 broad street, pendleton, Manchester. This appears to no longer exist on this road but without a name i cant trace the company. please, please, please can someone help me!

I would Imagine he is buried in Weaste Cemetery or Agecroft.
As you have a near enough date, ringing Agecroft, should turn up a result.
A D grave would suggest he is buried in the Dissenters section/s, ie non-religious.
I think with that number it is more likely to be Weaste, I can check that out for you, if you want :), Actually, just thought I can check both Cemeteries for you :)

Hi Debbie,
The family member that I'm looking for is Priscilla, I believe she died in 1911 as William bought a plot in may of 1911 and there's a death record for a priscilla that matches the age of our priscilla. I just wanted to know who else was buried in the grave because I believe that my great granddad is buried there as well. I know my great granddad William Hartley lost an arm in a war but I don't know which he's the great granddad I believe is buried there. I also believe that he is the last person buried there as my great grandma who was the younger Sarah Holmes was buried in Blackburn and I have the lease on the grave in Salford but no cemetery name. I would be most grateful if you could have a look for me. I believe that in that grave there is:-
Priscilla Holmes
Sarah Holmes
William Holmes
and William Hartley
Please don't worry if you are unable to find anything as I have a long list of things to do regarding this side of the tree.
Thank you again for the most generous offer.

No my Great granddad's wife was called Sarah Emma Holmes but for some reason he was buried in salford and she wasn't and it was her families grave plot.

Salford lass, Please don't worry about going especially if weather's bad, like I said I'm in no rush for it and I can work on the other side of the tree in the mean time, there's always another branch to look at.
Thanks again
Gabby
