The church cemetery where my great grandparents were buried is now a car park, and the church is now offices, it was called St James, Birch, in Rusholme, Manchester.   Would they have been reburied elsewhere and if  so how could I find out where ?    Thank you , Tony.

 I went along to southern cemy with just a grave no. to go on.  Planned to spend a couple of hours checking each plot until I found what I was I looking for. Found the grave in the second plot I looked in within 15 minutes !  Well chuffed.  First time I have done it.  Just lucky I suppose.

There seemed to be a few more folk doing the same thing.
