Northamptonshire / Re: London Road Cemetery, Wellingborough

Thank you - I finally received a reply from Norse to confirm that they have the registers. I have asked if there is anyway that copies could be provided, or whether I could spend time in the cemeteries office to enter them onto a database?  I'll let you know if I get a response! (I'm an archivist and have spent my life working with records such as these).  Do you think it would be worth submitting an FoI request to Wellingborough to see if that unearths a map?  Norse also didn't seem to think that there was any record of monumental inscriptions which I would dearly love to get transcribed to (when I was at York City Archives there was a very active cemeteries group that did inscriptions so may ask for their advice. Has anyone been to Northamptonshire archives or contacted them to see what they hold?  Their catalogue doesn't throw up much.

Hi Sandy, I've been trying to find out where the registers are held, but getting no response from Wellingborough Council :( I'd like to create a history walk around the cemetery, highlighting some of the graves/people of interest.  If you could please point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!!!  I'd also like to create a 'friends of' group for the cemetery to help with maintenance etc. I do a litter pick every month but I know there is a lot of interest from other people. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Alison
