« on: Thursday 06 November 08 13:54 GMT (UK) »
I am the Medlock Valley Community Link Officer and I work on Philips Park (not the cemetery) and am in the process of updating the web page (will take a few months).
The family is "Bartley" information below:
The grave of a family who perished when a German U-boat torpedoed the Lusitania in the first World War. Of the 1906 passengers and crew,1195 died, including husband, wife and 4 children of the Bartley Family. The sinking was a major reason for the Americans entering the war.
Name Age Place-of-Origin
BARTLEY, Mr. George Noble 38 Welland, Canada
BARTLEY, Mrs. George Noble (Ellen) 28 "
BARTLEY, Master Arthur 4 "
BARTLEY, Master Gordon 3-months "
The Grave No is B377 in the Church of England section near the Gates near the war memorial.
If anyone wants more info and I have photograph and map of cemetery, they could email me at Carol.Baguley@groundwork.org.uk.
All information will be put on the web site once updated www.philipspark.org.uk.
