Hi,

I can't help with locating the grave unfortunately but wondered if you contacted the owner of this website who seems to have a a good knowledge of Ford Cemetery. He does say that if you have a specific grave number he would be prepared to check it out for you.

Good luck

Hi, Public graves do not usually have a headstone unfortunately.

My nan had thought her mother was buried in a family plot so was surprised to find out she is in a public plot. Is there any way to find out if her father owned a family plot of 5? His name was Edward Connor, I know this is a long shot, but she has very few memories of her childhood so not much to go on.

Hi, is there a chance that I can perhaps piggyback on this post and request a lookup and even pictures for 2 graves in that cemetery? They are Michael Bradley 1866 Plot DZ465 and Mary Jane Bradley 1867, plot D685. It is very likely that they are public but even a picture of the general location would be great. thank you in advance.

Hi, these are both public graves, so no headstone is usually present.

DZ465:Michael Bradley died at 15 New Hall St L1 aged 42years, interred on 11/4/1866

DZ685:Mary Jane Bradley died at the same address aged 2 years, interred 13/11/1867

I can't help with a photo as I am in Australia.
