Also, might be worth putting this on the Huntingdonshire board.

Hi there. I live in Peterborough and will have a bit of time on my hands shortly. I'll pop down there one day with the camera. It will probably have to be December now.

Hi
Thanks for all the offers. In response to Clare sharp does the person who has the records also have photos?. In response to Colin Buckle if Clare cannot get the photos it would be great if you could get me them. Thank you both again.

I've had a good look around the cemetery this morning. It's a pretty old one, completely new family burials stopped over 100 years ago and it closed to all burials about 60 years ago. It's also very overgrown in parts. There is no plan on either of the entrance notice boards and although there is a mention of lodges online I couldn't find them and firmly believe they don't exist. So you'll need to get hold of a plan in order to be able to find the graves. if you get that I'll pop down again with the camera.

Hi
Thanks for taking the time to go and look for me. I have emailed the council to see if it possible to get a plan of the cemetery. I will post the plan here when they get back to me.
