Can anyone tell me if this cemetery still exists please?
Have a burial for a Thomas PINNINGTON on 13th May 1830 that I'd like to follow up on if possible.
Cheers

Hiya Annie...have a look on here ....Low Hill cemetery is officially the Necropolis , Cemetery in Everton...Everton Cemetery opened in 1880 and Low Hill stopped taking bodies
.if you get no joy let me know....I live about 8 miles away...and have a free bus pass (I`m a wrinkly )...so if you get no joy , I`ll go to Low Hill on the bus and let you know what the local pub is like as well ...lol

According to www.lan-opc.org.uk it was laid out as ornamental garden in 1914
Internments stopped 1898
Alot of the register of internments is on the above site. Certainly the early entries are there.

Thanks Gibel...how sad died of Consumption aged 39....so born 1790/1
allan
ADDED...thinking about it, it was right next to Mill Road Hospital and I`m sure the grounds are still there...the walls from the road are about 16ft high....obviously....Low Hill....just realised how it got its name ...allan :-[
-
Thank you both Allan & Gibel.
I've emailed the online parish clerk to see if they have any more info other than what's listed on their website - occupation/relations/headstone etc just to help confirm this is my Thomas.
There is also an Ellen PINNINGTON buried in the same grave and I think this is his mother.
Special thanks to Allan for your kind offer to have a look for me...will keep you posted if I have no joy :)

Are the headstones in good order or have they been removed I the grave Iam interested in is Grave: 2814 would I love a photo of the grave whether it has headstones or not Buried in this grave is Caleb Emerson and his two sons
regards Lynne :) :) :) :) :) :)
-
There are no headstones whatsoever in this park it is just a green area for locals to walk their dogs. Grant Gardens is the name of the park.
-
The Necropolis is now, as Susie says, Grant Gardens and opposite Brougham Terrace which used to be the main Register Office for Liverpool. It was a very popular place for wedding parties to have the photographs taken after the ceremony, I often wondered if they knew what used to be beneath their feet.
I believe some of the inscriptions are listed on the Gibsons Epitaphs, these are held at the Record Office and have also been transcribed onto CD, a copy of which can be obtained from the Liverpool & SW Lancashire FHS - their online shop is available http://www.liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/acatalog/index.html
-
Thanks for the info good to see the cemetery has been put to good use
regards Lynne
-
There's nothing for Thomas Pinnington in Gibson's Epitaphs
-
Thanx everyone & for looking ShaunJ.
Unfortunately have had no reply from the online parish clerk so not sure if I there's any other way I can identify the Thomas P in this grave.
-
Just noting the death announcement in the Liverpool Mercury of 14 May 1830:
On Sunday last, much respected, in his 40th year, Mr Thomas Pinnington, auctioneer, leaving a widow and six infant children to lament their loss.
-
Thank you SO much ShaunJ.....This confirms it is the right Thomas P. :)
Could I be cheeky & ask if you can find anything reported on the death of the lady buried in the same grave:
Ellen Pinnington, buried 17th Feb 1830, aged 66 years.
I believe this is Thomas' mother. I don't know his father's name & I was hoping if there is a newspaper report of her death, it may note her husband's name.
Once again thanx so much for that extra info.
Annie

Liverpool Mercury for Friday February 19 1830:

I was born in South Australia...looking forward to a reply....chers Joanne

Hi Joanne & welcome to Rootschat
Yes, Thomas Pinnington was the father of Henry Crowther Pinnington. I'm not actually related but have been doing some research for Ruth Sparrow nee Pinnington. Would be happy to share what we have so far.....(you'll need to post 3 messages before I can send you the info by PM.) or if you like I can just post it on RC.
Let me know and I'll help out wherever I can.
Cheers
Annie

Hi Annie, thankyou for your reply, I would love to know what you have, I a fair bit on Henry Crowther Pinningtoneg after his marriage to Emma Bidell/Biddle and their children Alice Pinnington their daughter being my ancestoral link, there is some confusion to whether Henry arrived in SA on the Canton in 1838 or as in newspaper obits on the Cressy to which i can not find a list of passengers or crew/!
i know his parents were Thomas Pinnington auctioneer & his mather Elizabeth?, their children, Richard, Thomas Henrietta,& Henry, i have Henry's birthdate & christening, his occupation & death etc.but would love to know a bit more about and about his parents...if you wish to put info on here i dont mind at all... could you please tell me Ruth Sparrows link to the Pinningtons, William, Henry or one of the other brothers of Alice ...thankyou Joanne :)
-
Hi again Joanne
Ruth is a descendant of Henry Crowther's daughter, Amelia.
Will give you a quick run down on what we have so far on Thomas' line:
Thomas PINNINGTON's parents were Robert & Ellen nee KENYON who married on 1st June 1789 in St John's Church, Liverpool. Thomas was christened 5th Dec. 1790, same place.
Thomas married Elizabeth STRINGFELLOW (haven't been able to find the details so far) and they had the following children:
Thomas Kenyon Pinnington, born 3rd November 1811, St Peter, Liverpool & was buried 15th July 1814, same place.
Elizabeth Ann Pinnington, christened 19th June 1814, St Peter, Liverpool.
James Kenyon Pinnington, christened 23rd April 1817, St Nicholas, Liverpool.
Richard Taylor Pinnington, christened 23rd April 1820, St Peter, Liverpool.
William Pinnington, christened 22nd July 1822, St Peter, Liverpool.
Thomas Stretch Pinnington, christened 21st May 1826, St Peter, Liverpool.
Henrietta Atwood Pinnington, christened 12th June 1827, St Peter, Liverpool & buried 15th Nov 1827, St Nicholas, Liverpool.
Henry Crowther Pinnington, christened 15th November 1829, St Peter, Liverpool.
Apart from finding Thomas & his mother's deaths (and of course the Australian details of Henry's line) haven't had much luck in tracing the rest of his siblings or his mother, Elizabeth's death.
More to follow.....
-
Continued.....
Thomas' occupation for the births of his first 3 children was listed as Bookkeeper, & for the remaining children as Auctioneer/Appraiser.
Also have a little info on the KENYONs & STRINGFELLOWs if you're interested.
The only 2 children of Henry Crowther that I haven't been able to track yet are Alfred & Edith so if you have any info on these, that would be great.
Once you reply to this post we can exchange email addresses (if you like) & I can attach my files for you. Have also found numerous trade directory info on Thomas Snr that I can post you copies of (once again, if you are OK with this). I can then also explain how I've come to link the first three children (when he was listed as a Bookkeeper) to the last 5 (Auctioneer/Appraiser).
Cheers

Hi Annie,

-
Hi Joanne
Have managed to trace both Edith & Alfred since we last made contact but would be happy to see what else you have on them.
I know what moving house is like!! Trying to find everything after the move is a pain but don't worry we'll still keep in touch & share our info once you're up & running again.

Is anyone able to give me any information for Grave Number 28 in Low Hill Cemetery.
The grave is for Betty Special who was buried 11 Jun 1831 age 73.
I would like to know if there is any other information for Grave 28.
May be there are other people buried in the grave.
I am not able to get to Liverpool but would really appreciate it if anyone is able to find any information in any cemetery records for Grave 28.
The other relatives with the surname of Special were all buried from St James, Toxteth.
I am not familiar with the churches but believe that St James may have had a grave yard.
I would welcome any information as to where these relatives would have been buried.
Any information regarding the graves of these relatives would be very much appreciated.
Abraham Special - son of Lionel Special and Elizabeth - 2 May 1792
Sarah Special - daughter of Lionel Special and Elizabeth - buried 25 Mar 1798
Elizabeth Special - wife of Lionel Special - buried 11 Apr 1800
Elizabeth Speciel - daughter of Lionel Speciel and Elizabeth - buried 8 Nov 1801 (different spelling)
Lionel Special - buried 24 Sep 1805
Thank you

Not good news I'm afraid. St. James did indeed have a graveyard, but it was partially cleared in the nineteenth century (?) when the road was widened and reburials took place in the new St. James' cemetery. This in turn was laid out as a park and most of the gravestones buried in the 1970s. Those that remain have been resited and have been used to line paths. To my knowledge, no gravestones remain in the original St. James' churchyard.
The above is a very brief summary.
Have a look at :
