Hi Robert
I have just found my Gt Grandmother's burial record for Kirkdale Cemetery and this is the first time I have come across a Public grave. It is very close to your ancestor being Section 18, grave 1138. I didn't realise the significance of a public grave until after visiting Kirkdale and finding no headstone, I wrote to Liverpool City Council and had a reply back telling me the grave is a public grave with multiple interments within it.
Has anyone else come across this situation? In section 18 where the grave should be there is just a strip of grass running from one side of the section to the other and now I am thinking all the graves in this row must be public. On the plan I have all these graves have a thick black line next to the number. Does anyone know if this denotes a public grave?
thanks
Diane
