Hi, I have quite a few graves I need finding. If anyone can take the pictures of these graves I'd be very grateful.
James Stuttard (d.1927)
Henry Edward Hilditch (d.1931)
Elizabeth Ann Stuttard (d.1940)
Hannah Maria Horrocks (d.1888)
Joseph Cottrell (d.1934)
Irene Cottrell (d.1917)
Robert Parrott (d.1903)
Lily Gibbins (d.1923)
John William Burns (d.1912)
Harriet Edna Lomas (d.1946)
Eric Lomas (d.1924)
Arthur McLay (d.1917)
I was only looking for Henry E Hilditch when I looked and I couldn't find him after a half-hour search.

Hi
Have you confirmed that there are headstones on these graves otherwise there is nothing to take a photo of. Also - without a headstone or a plot number it makes it difficult to find a grave
-
I'm only getting the names off the burial registers on Ancestry, and they didn't supply me with any grave references. I know how hard it is trying to find them, don't worry if you aren't up to looking.
-
I know for a fact the Cottrell graves are there as I remember seeing them last time I looked, before I knew they were related to me.

Hi
Have a look at reply 5 on this website - dated 2009 - which may be of help to you

There's no transcriptions available though, it looks like I'll just have to wait until I go next time.
-
Why not register on the site and then post a message asking if the transcriptions were done and where they can be viewed. They were supposed to be doing them 4yrs ago so they must be somewhere

Hi
The church burial registers are on www.familysearch.org.uk
For example
Joseph Cottrell April 25th 1934 92 Bank Street aged 56
There is a number at the side of the record 523- could this be the grave number?
It might help with the search

Hi there,
I live not far from this cemetery, it is really quite overgrown and in a bit of a sorry state for the most part. Most headstones are still standing, but they've not been very well looked after.
Also, it really isn't all that big, it wouldn't take long to wander round and look at all the headstones, definitely less than an hour.
If you have any more information regarding plot numbers etc. i'd be more than happy to have a walk through and see if there is anything to take a picture of for you; I have great grandparents in there too :)
Hope this might help you out a bit

Hi,
There are memorial inscriptions for St Cross by the MLFHS, available on CD. I think these are the ones mentioned on the manmates forum

I smiled at this response on the ManMates site re collecting the MIs:
" we hope to complete every one in a single weekend"
We said exactly the same thing in 2011 about Manchester General Cemetery! It does take a bit longer than you think...
