Title: Greenacres cemetery, Oldham, Lancs....help?
Post by: Julia Green on Wednesday 08 June 16 14:51 BST (UK)

Hi, I 'think' I've found my ancestor Frances Green (could be Frances, Fanny or Fannie) possibly buried in Greenacres Cemetery in 1911, grave number I1-123.   I'm wondering whether anyone would be able to tell me any more info? whether there might be a headstone with additional info on it?  Fanny lived with her sister and brother in law at the Assheton Arms Hotel in Middleton on the 1911 census and she was 67 years old then.  The only death registration I've found for a Frances Green lived at 118 King Street, Oldham.  She was single.   Died 24th August 1911 buried 28th August 1911 Grave plot I1-123.  I'd be grateful for any help 😊

Crikey! I'm always amazed how brilliant you lot are! I am so grateful for your responses and heatherjulie, you are brilliant! I don't know who Ann Harver is, but all the others are in my tree.  I wonder whether there is a headstone? and if so, if I could get a picture?  I'm in Wales so too far away.   I'm off to research Ann Harver...thank you all for contributing to my successful outcome xxx
