Title: After Headstone Infomation
Post by: lynbear1 on Thursday 08 September 11 10:19 BST (UK)
:) My name is Lynette Terrill and I live in New Zealand, I am trying to find my Grandfathers birth in      Ireland. I would really appreciate someones help to get a photo of the inscription on his headstone.      He married  and died in Dover. Francis P McGarry married Barbara May Beer 26.12 1923 and died August 1958. Buried at St James Plot HH21 (97 Beaufoy Road Dover) I believe. I am hoping this may help me find his birth date and place.
To Bill if you read this, My Nana was a Beer. Her mother Lucy Jane Beer (father unknown) Lucy married a Pettman and her mother Was Annie Beer I believe, any connection

 :) Hi Lynbear,
     I am giving you a link to the Kent History Forum. We have been able to help out before at St James Cemetery. You may like to contact "Unfairytale" (the Poster in Dover.)that visited the cemetery to check.

Hi Lyn
This is a very large cemetry, I found the marker for HH, and checked all the graves around it but could not find a headstone for Mc Garry.  However the grave markers are confusing and there are several grave yards linked together, so i may not have even been in the right place!!  There was no-one around to ask for directions. 
Can I suggest you follow the link that Rog left in a prevous post? 
Sorry
Brian
