Celia's Rake Lane + burial.look up

[celia]

I will check the date again for  the first Leonard,i remember having to make out what the date was  because it was just a sqwiggle,and there were two sqwiggles . so if you have the date in a diary( which you didnt give me) its right and mine is wrong.The writing is terrble sometimes .I will check on it anyway. You didnt give me the between dates for the other Leonard before.So will do that again as well.

Thanks Celia. Only found the burial date out when I climbed into the loft to dig out the diaries. My Dad was excellent at naming the films he'd seen throughout the war ( and there were a lot) but not much good at recording family details!!!

Hello Celia
I have just come accross your topic and wondered if you could help me.
I have a Margaret Mcpherson who was born 27th August at Errol in Perth Scotland. She was a Ross before marriage. She was married to Alexander Mcphersonalso born in Perth.
I am looking for her burial place and wondered if she might be in one of your cemeteries.
She died 9th August 1885 at Breck Road, Poulton-cum-Seacombe. Cause of death was Bronchitis.

Can you find time in your busy schedule to see if she is in Rakes Lane etc.

Thanks very much

Colinsmac

Thanks for all you hard work, Celia. It is very much appreciated. Finally found an address for them and it was 5 Onslow Rd New Brighton. It's obviously the right plot so I think it's time for a walk round the cemetary. Hopefully the headstone is still standing and also my Grandfathers dates. Looking at the map it's also a lot nearer to the "bottom left hand corner" description. I'll let you know if I find it.

Hello Colinsmac
Glad to help, Rake lane had only been open a couple of years when your burial took place.So i think its the most likely place to find it as wirral didn't have many church yards.The biggest being St Hilary.Plus Rake lane and Flaybrick were the only cemeteries open at the time. Just one question if you know it. Was the person catholic, or not?
will do you lookup next week.
