Thanks for looking anyway... I've tried to plot the grave photos I've got by checking the burial records on familysearch, so I know roughly where our graves are (almost within reach of the fence just behind the bus stop annoyingly!). Hopefully someone will get access... Ho hum- would love to see them.

The family graves that I am looking for are those relating to Jabez & Louisa Perkins, Richard & Mary Kew, George H Kew and Herbert Todd. I have added some of their names to the database on www.findagrave.com .

 I called off at St Lukes yesterday to see if I could photograph any of the graves through the fence. There are no notices up warning of the dreaded knotweed but there is no access to the site.  There is an information board up with the phone number of the Heritage Trust for the North West but that's it.

 It was very tempting to try and squeeze under the fence...! However, I was good and managed to get some photos of some of the graves by standing on the wall. I've also put these names on findagrave, but haven't got round to putting the photos on yet. If I've listed anybody's relatives on there let me know and I'll put the corresponding photo on. As already mentioned in previous posts, the graveyard is very overgrown so seeing any stones is a bonus! Hope they help someone.

A relative discovered some years ago that some of the family headstones at St Lukes had been moved. There are burial records which are not deposited at the Manchester Archives from the 1930's to the closure of the church in the 1980's and despite receiving an email from the Archives who were 'going to look into it', I didn't hear back. Does anyone know where they are?
Thanks!
