Kirkdale Cemetery
« on: Thursday 24 May 07 18:59 BST (UK) »
Hi,

If there is anyone who lives near Kirkdale Cemetery and has access to a digital camera I was wondering if they would be so kind as to take a photograph for me. I have at least one ancestor who is buried there but is unfortunately in a public lot. Although that means there is no headstone I would just like a photograph for my records and also just so I can see what it looks like.

Thanks

Robert

Robert,

I've been to Kirkdale cemetery once.  I was looking for several ancestors that are buried there, unfortunately I didn't find a single one as the cemetery is totally massive!

Hi Lee,

Unfortauntely I have never been there myself but someone kindly looked for me. They were able to look through the records there to find out the burial information which is just as well as looking about in a massive cemetery for a headstone that doesn't exist would have been a waste of time.

Cheers

Hi Robert,

I don't live nearby, but not too far away.

I don't mind going for you if you give me names and the grave refs.

Hi Red,

If you aren't going for anything else then it doesn't matter as I don't want to take you out of your way. There is no specific plot I am looking for as my ancestor was buried in public grave. It was just a general shot of the cemetery itself. Strange I know but as I cannot get there I would just like some sort of idea of where she is buried.

Thanks very much for your kind offer.

Cheers

Hi Robert,

no problem.

If you know when she died, and we know she is in Kirkdale, I will look for the details next time I go to the RO, if you like. If you just want general photo's of the cemetery, I can do that too. Let me know what you want.

Hi Red,

Thank you. That would be very much appreciated. Mary Marr, ms Robinson, was my great great grandmother and her family were quite tragic. Mary lost 2 children during infancy during the 1880s then in the 1890s she died in her early 30s, her husband died in his early 30s and her youngest son died aged 5 leaving only two children- one of whom was my great granfather who died when he was 28 in Scotland. Mary and the two younger children all died in Liverpool whereas the rest died in Scotland after Mary's death.  I've put more information concerning Mary up on here.

Someone very kind person looked up Mary's death previously at Kirkdale Cemetery and sent me the following information if this helps:

Kirkdale Cemetery, Register No. 19254, C of E, buried July 8th 1894, Mary Marr, age 32, 92 Rockingham St, Kirkdale, Public Grave Section 18 Grave No. 1131. As it was a public, rather than a private grave, I did not look up the childrens' earlier burials. They too would have been in public graves. However, also in the same grave as Mary Marr were 3 young, unrelated children from the Everton/Kirkdale area, & one of her neighbours - Samuel Gabriel, 43, labourer, 38 Rockingham St Kirkdale. He was buried on the 15th July.

As a result I doubt there is much to photograph to be honest. It is a shame as I did hope the children would be with their mother but times are different now. Any photograph would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Robert

Hi Robert,

no problem. I will be going either Monday, or next weekend, weather permitting. I will let you know of my find as soon as I'm back.
