Title: Gravesite/Gravestone St. Michael Great Lever
Post by: JohnJean on Tuesday 10 July 12 11:27 BST (UK)

Hello,
I am in Australia currently ongoing research into family history, including the Bramhall family branch. The Lancashire Online Parish Clerk site notes two entries of great grandparents, James Bramhall and Elizabeth J. Bramhall. They are James Bramhall burial 21 July 1919, St. Michael, Great Lever, Lancashire. Age 73 years, abode 40 Bradford Ave., Bolton. Grave Row 43 No. 15, and Elizabeth J. Bramhall burial 27 March 1924, St. Michael, Great Lever, Lancashire. Age 74 years, abode 40 Bradford Ave., Bolton. Grave (also) Row 43 No. 15.
Can anyone advise me as to who to contact to see if the gravesite/gravestone exists after such a long time and if so how to obtain a photo of same.
I understand this is a difficult request and any assistance or advice will be appreciated.
John
