It's been playing up for other people too, I guess because it's a new article. Hope it's working now?

Thanks Migky and Barbara. The Wikipedia article (the first draft at least) is now up! Search Grand Central Pub. Any feedback is hugely appreciated, good or bad

Here are my photos from today!

There is the Bostock grave and the Cullen grave among those. The Cullens were buried with a Roland Cullen...
'Royal Welsh Fusilier, who gave his life for his country in Flanders. July 29th 1917 aged 31years.'
I'm gonna see if I can find out more about him online, there's gotta be records of him in some army records somewhere.
It was a super cool day. I went with my boyfriend and my best friend. Finding the graves was so exciting. I felt like a real detective

Been researching tonight. On the St Peters marriages site I found a James Cullen married a Mary Wrigley in 1872. The Manchester's burial search page shows there is a James and Mary Cullen buried together, next to a Harriet Wrigley (I assume she's a relative) in Southern Cemetery. I'm going to find them, the Bostocks and the Lewis' tomorrow.
Will post pics as follows. Can you put photos of graves on here? Might take a snap of me as a detective with my notepad, big camera and torch.

I'm just asking because we're going to the Southern Cemetery tomorrow to find the graves of 80 Oxford Street residents to see if we can find any more clues, so trying to make a list of those graves we need to visit

I'm looking on Manchester City Council burial records database & not finding anything there?

I'll credit it if that's okay, it's easier that way. Thank you!

Migky where did you find this evidence?
I'm working on a wikipedia page right now
A little bit about one of the early landlords
Dayffd (David) Lewis and his wife Annie Elizabeth Lewis are buried together in Southern cemetery.
Church of England section. Grave number H 1830.
If you start a new post on the look ups section, asking if any one is willing to see if there is a headstone and photograph it for you, i am sure you will get some kind soul who will do anything for a freebie pint
Dafydd died age 71
buried 20th Feb 1926
His wife Annie Elizabeth Lewis in the same grave died ages 79 and was buried on 24th March 1949.
