I think the reason I had a reply from Mary Murtagh , a reporter, on the Echo was because I quoted the thousands of people who were interested in this story from around the world and that it was a real news item.  Then I was told that the person who had the tags had to write to them.

Reading the posts it seems that the Bootle cemetery or one of the churchyards in Blundellsands may be the a resting place for Robert Stead

Unfortunately I.too, found that a local cemetery charged £23 for information but it could well be that the local library in Blundellsands or Crosby have cemetery record interments.

Hi It looks like Michel will have to contact them! Can you get the link to him.
Can someone ask the office that has Blundellsands Records if someone can take a look intstead of being charged with having the date it should take minutes! Do you know the number of the Office there Is Blundellsands a district in Liverpool. I'm over in Oldham I'd be happy to make a call to them. Then post results of conversation on here.
Somone has to give something here. Maybe if BB gets on the case He may be given the info on the location of the Grave!
We can hope I guess.
Its going to come to a positive conclusion I'm sure.
We are just coming to the top of the hill I think!

I do not live near to Liverpool but could look to see if the Blundellsands Library has an E Mail address and make an enquiry.  I think it would be Annie who would be the most likely person to be the contact with Michel.

Hi Gateacre I agree about Annie. i'm sure that will be fine with her. I tried looking for Blundellsands and it came up as Sefton? Not sure about that not familiar with that area.
well done so far!

The nearest library to Blundellsands is the College Road Carnegie Library http://www.sefton.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=5768

The main library for the area  is Crosby Library http://www.sefton.gov.uk/page&5947

Not sure which would be the best starting point for this - probably Crosby

I have E  Mailed the Blundellsands library and asked about churchyard registers and the nearest publiic cemetery and if the records could be found in a library without having to ask the cemetery office.  Also, I gave the name, age and date of death of Robert.

I am not familiar with this area except that I had to report to the Blundellsands Hotel when I joined the W.R.N.S in  WW11. and was promptly sent to Scotland.
