Hi Celia,
You said you'd looked on the Non Conformist & C of E films, but no trace.
I Googled the Cemetery to see what else I could find.
I came up with Wirral council's web site & the list of Cemeteries they look after.
There was a phone number (0151 677 2361) & a note saying for more info call.... so I did!
I asked if they had the records & was told yes. I gave Arthur Irvings details, date of death &
his grave number. within a few seconds he had confirmed the details & that he was in section 17 of the Non conf section & those in the grave with him were William & Isabella & their dates of death too!!
I would like to thank you again for your help, saving us a wasted journey to visit the cemetery & not really knowing what we were looking for.
Kind regards
Sally

Hi Celia,
Thank you so much for your time & effort.
I querried Arthur'r religion with my friend last night, his reply was ...

Ellen (the wife) was a catholic, but Arthur was the black sheep of his family, so I doub't he will be of any religon.

So he may well be in the Catholic section.
I had assumed that the indexes would have given details of all those burried in the plot.
Since it does not, I don't think we could learn anything new from the burial records.

Looks like we might have to make a day trip out from Yorkshire in the Spring to visit the cemetery!
Is there a map with grave numbers on it at the cemetery?

Kind regards
Sally

Hi Celia,
Thank you so much.
My friend knows next to nothing of his grandfather, so we are clutching at straws.
I understand he was 51 when he died on 05 Jan 1963 & he has the plot no. as 352.
His address at the time was 97 Raleigh Rd, Leasowe, Wirral.

We don't know where he was born & can't locate his birth, so his age may be wrong!
He thinks that his grandfather (Arthur Irving) was burried in the same plot as his parents,
if so, this will be of great help in locating the right family.
Kindest regards
Sally
