Title: Lancaster Cemetery Look up
Post by: Darryl Nugent on Tuesday 29 October 24 20:16 GMT (UK)
I'm trying to find the grave of FREDERICK JOHN CONSTABLE who died 10 Jan 1896 and was buried in Lancaster Cemetery shortly afterwards. He was aged about 30 years.
Hoping someone can help with cemetery plans, grave number, other burials in the same grave and if there is a headstone.
I'm hoping to pay a visit late 2024/early 2015.
Thanks
Darryl Nugent

That's him. Thanks so much. I will find out where section N is for my visit.
Incidently he was an attendant at the asylum rather thaan an inmate. His wife worked there too.

William was Frederick's dad. Looks like he purchased two adjacent plots for the family. Quite a number of burials so hopefully there will be a headstone on 697.
Thanks again
