What is your husband’s father’s name if you don’t mind me asking? I’m guessing Thomas or Philip.

Sounds like we are first cousins. Thomas was my great grandfather. Samuel my grandfather and Brian my dad. I know where Thomas and Samuel are buried at St Helens. Both are unmarked graves.

The very same!

Was my attachment visible? It has the inscription.

He is buried with his Ruth and his second wife Mary Hind and children who died young.

Hi,

What are the names you are looking for if you dont mind me asking?  I'm a Plant by marriage and we found a headstone next to the church which was Plants.  I do have a photo (somewhere in the files).

Is your husband from the Northwich area? If so I guess we could be related. I have made a document that you may be interested in.

Hi

I think I know the grave you are referring to which is that of William Plant and others ( who are something of a mystery to me).

I’m looking for Andrew Plant and his family. I’ve added an attachment with the inscription.

Hi Mike

Thanks for your advice and your welcome.  :)

He died in 1878 and is buried with both his wives and two children that died young.

Your right about headstones. Many have been laid flat so that you can't read the inscriptions. Others are overgrown or so weathered that they are illegible.

It would be nice to know where the grave is. Records are kept on site for the municipal graveyard but not the old graveyard.

I suspect if I go to the Cheshire record office I will only get the inscriptions and not the location.

Cheers

Jonnie

Hello

This is my first post here so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I'm researching my Plant family ancestors. I have been able to locate the graves of my grandfather and great grandfather at St Helen's with the help of the staff at the Town Council. I know that my 2x great grandfather is buried there and I have the inscription, but it is in the old section of the churchyard. (I've looked but been unable to find it). Could anyone point me in the direction of a grave plot location plan please?
