Hi June
if you go onto google maps and google Malago vale trading estate, you'll see the piece of land that was the burial ground by the side of that. It's diamond shaped with a path running diagonally through it. It lies between Cotswold Road and St Johns Lane.

If you then look immediately north over the top of the trading estate on the other side of the railway tracks, you'll see a piece of green land bounded by St Johns Road and Church Lane, that's where St Johns Church and churchyard was until it was demolished.

Hi June. I got you a couple of photos. As I suspected I think they might've laid the gravestones down and grassed over them as you can see from the first photo. I can only find one like that tho.  There's only one monument left and that's been stuck in the corner . No idea why that particular one was saved, maybe it was the message at the bottom and the sad tale of the two young people lost at sea.

Hi again Plevna, nice to hear from you, hope your tree is blossoming.
I've recently discovered the Toxteth Park grave of Charles Holmes & Elizabeth (Blakeman) Holmes also holds the remains of Samuel Holmes aged 52 d1929. Lucy Jones nee Holmes aged 23 d1918 & her son John Frederick aged 13mths d1918. Also Lucy May Larkey aged 5yrs d1918. What a tough year 1918 was for the family. :'(

I saw that at the other place, great sleuthing! I'm going to have a look at it next time I'm up there. Is there a headstone do you know? There doeasn't seem to be ones for a lot of my family in Liverpool on the other side. Too expensive I suppose.
The flu must've been a terrible time. Lucy's poor husband losing her and the baby too

Hi JuneNZ
I live in Bedminster, and St Johns had another graveyard as well as the churchyard. Sadly though for you it's all grassed over, but you might be interested to know that it's recently been planted with lots of fruit trees! I walk through there every day. I could take a photo if you like?

Hi everyone  - I already know liverbird from ancestry.com (Hi Jean!) . Just to join my voice in as a member of this extended family through my mum's side of the family.  Caroline Bradley and Samuel Blakeman are my great, great, great grandparents. My line is through their daughter Elizabeth and Charles Holmes, their second son William was my great grandad.
It's been lovely reading this post although I can't add any more than you really clever people have already researched!
