Celia's Rake Lane + burial.look up

[celia]

I had assumed

with genealogy you never ever assume anything or you might get your tree in knots
Before you can find a grave,you must know the section the grave is on first.Beause each section depending on its size has up to 877 Graves.The only way to find it is a burial look up.I will look in the catholic next,it is a lot quicker than searching 48 sections one at a time.Then finding all the numbers on the stones till you get somewhere in the region of 352,Without the section number a day out every weekend throughout the spring and summer should do it.

Thank you Celia,

I had no idea the Cemetery was so big.
We have just had a look at it on Google Earth, I can now see the enormity of it.
We would be very grateful for any additional information you can add.

I only hope there is a headstone when we have a chance to venture over!
Regards
Sally

with all the changes to my computer last week,new email account,going on broadband and changing providers i cant remember and cant find if i looked in the catholics or not.I have a suspicion that the catholic burials on the film ended before 1963 for some reason. Did i contact you with any info

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

Hey Great news Sally
it sounds like you contacted Landican in Birkenhead,who hold all the records for all the council cemeteries.He was able to look in the grave record book thats why it was quick;D  The grave records are only available in Landican.I will send you a more detailed map of  the section tomorrow if you send me your email.Cant send on a P.M

Hi Celia,

 if you are still doing lookups would you mind looking for the burial of Elizabeth Lawley at Rake Lane, presumed C. of E.   Death 1925 qtr June,  that's if you have access for that year.

Many thanks,

I just wrote a post added my name clicked one of the smilies and the post vanished

I found Elizabeth she was buried on 23rd June 1925 age 73 Section 13c grave 21. Unfortunately along with most of all the other twenties there are no headstones.
Now i hope you know the middle name of Elizabeth Because the first letter is a c like the one i sign my name with.Then there are four small loops all exactly the same, they don't resemble any letter at all except a row of Ells
