Hi frithy

Have you established that a headstone exists?

Not sure if there is a headstone. Would like to at least see where abouts in Willow Grove the plot is. Thanks

The last time I visited, the place was in a bit of a state and many of the headstones (the graves that had them) seemed to be partly buried.

You'll find the records at Stockport Borough Cemetery - now run by the co-op funeral service. They have a large map with grave plots/names on it. You need an appointment to view it. You'll have to ask them nicely if you can't get to Stockport.

N Ches. FHS were involved in a MI survey but I'm not sure how far they got and, the last I heard, the Soc was in the throes of being wound up.
