I have an ancestor who died of Cholera in Liverpool in 1851. I looked to see if I had a burial record and I didn't. I looked for one and I couldn't find one so it's a bit of a mystery where she was buried.

The only information I have is that the mass burial grave site was where Liverpool Womens Hospital stood/stands. Still following this up .

My x 3 Great grandmother Amelia Fowler died of Cholera along with her infant daughter in late August 1849.

Both were buried in a mass grave at St. Mary's, Kirkdale, along with approximately thirty (from memory) other Cholera victims over a period of three or so days.

There were also mass burials at St.John's graveyard on St.John's Lane, although these are only two such locations of many.
