Hello Dawn
Thank you for your enquiry.
I have searched both Kirkdale and West Derby Cemeteries for the burial of Robert William Stead without success. I also tried Ford and Yew Tree Cemeteries with no luck. It is possible that Robert was buried in a churchyard, but as we have the records of several churches that include burials, this could involve an extensive search. I have attached details of our research service to this message.
I am sorry not to have been able to help with your enquiry.

I'll update the cemetery list (see reply #537)
