Title: Public grave site
Post by: rob g on Monday 20 August 18 11:41 BST (UK)

Hi. I have been looking for a grave site in ulveston.  For a Robert dodd. B.1841. D.1902. Ulveston workhouse. Can't find a separate workhouse graveyard. So probably in a public grave. I have found two pauper grave site's of my ancestors in Carlisle cemetery. And know roughly where they are. So maybe there's one public area in Ulveston cemetery. Wondering if anyone knows it.

Have you looked at Genuki Lancashire?  This shows that there is a municipal cemetery in Ulverston that opened in 1879 (http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Ulverston/PrioryRdCemetery ).  There are also at least three church graveyards in the town.
