Hi Celia
I posted that reply before I'd read the one where you said that you'd found the exact location of the grave - that's very exciting, thank you very much! How did you find out? Can you describe where it is?
How many posts do I need to make?

Hi Celia
Thanks for your replies - it said that I couldn't send personal messages so I couldn't reply that way to your P.M. I will contact Landican as you suggested. I live in Wolverhampton, not on the Wirral, but we come up fairly regularly to visit my father-in-law who lives in Liverpool.

Some of the horizontal stones on the graves were fairly covered by grass so I suppose there might be a chance that there is one and it's covered over. The last known person to be buried in there was in the 1950's and he'd been living with his daughter, so I was hoping that something might have been put up then, at least.

They were 3rd class burials. What do the different classifications mean?
The first person to be buried in the plot had originally been buried by a public burial in section 7C, but was reburied in 8C a month later with a 3rd class burial. Were people from different families buried together in the same grave when it was a Public burial?

Many thanks for your help,
Val

Hi Celia
This is my first post so hope it works ok! I've visited the cemetery with area and grave number (8C and 193) but no standing tombstone and the grave numbers don't follow consecutively al the time so we couldn't work out which plot it was so we could have investigated to see if there was a horizontal tombstone, as the grass seems to have covered a lot of them. Do you know if there is a plan of where specific numbered graves are and if so where it is? Thanks for any advice you could give.
