Kirkdale Cemetery

Hi Robert,

I havn't forgotten the cemetery visit. It hasn't been very good cemetery weather this week. 

As soon as the weather brightens up, I will go. I have other cemetery photo's to do for other RC peeps, so will do them all together.

Hi Red,

Thanks for letting me know and please just whenever suits you. It's not the July weather we were hoping for.

Cheers

Here is a map of Kirkdale Cemetery which will help finding the general area of the grave.  Some of the public graves will have been marked with a brick in the ground containing the grave number so if you can find anyone of the cemetery workers they may be able to pinpoint the location for you.  I found my g grandfather and gg grandfather in Anfield cemetery this way even though the bricks were well covered with mud / grass.

Hi Jan,

Thanks very much for that map. It looks like a big cemetery indeed.

Hi Robert,

I havn't forgot to go. The weather has been so bad. And, my family wont let me go on my own.

I hope to go next week, all depends on the weather.

Hi Red,

Not a problem and very much appreciated. If you do get the chance then for me it will be bonus. In the meantime I'll keep looking in when I'm on Rootschat.

Cheers

Hi Robert,

just to let you know, I havn't forgotten the cemetery pics I promised you.

I was intending to go last week end. I did a couple of other cemeteries for other Rootschat peeps, then was going to go to Kirkdale. I didn't realise it was so far away 

I will still go for you, but it will have to be when I havn't got another one to do. 

I wont let you down. I promise.

Hi Red,

No problem at all, please take your time. I'm in no rush so just when you feel like it and are planning to be in the area. Anything is appreciated.

All the best,

Hi Robert
I have just found my Gt Grandmother's burial record for Kirkdale Cemetery and this is the first time I have come across a Public grave.  It is very close to your ancestor being Section 18, grave 1138.  I didn't  realise the significance of a public grave until after visiting Kirkdale and finding no headstone, I wrote to Liverpool City Council and had a reply back telling me the grave is a public grave with multiple interments within it. 
Has anyone else come across this situation?  In section 18 where the grave should be there is just a strip of grass running from one side of the section to the other and now I am thinking all the graves in this row must be public.  On the plan I have all these graves have a thick black line next to the number.  Does anyone know if this denotes a public grave?
thanks
