Mossley Cemetary MI's - Mallalieu

[madpants]

Is there any kind person who enjoys looking for inscriptions in the Mossley area please, unfortunately I'm on the wrong side of the country.

I have found on the Tameside.gov site the location of my G Grandfather and family's graves and would love it if someone could tell me what their inscriptions say please.

There are 4 in Mossley Cemetary Old Part no. 1890

Samuel Broadbent Mallalieu
Mary Mallalieu
Edith Mary Mallalieu
and
John James Mallalieu (though where he fits in if at all I don't know)

many thanks

Hi,
I've had a quick look at Mossley late this afternoon, but with no luck I'm afraid However I'm not saying they are not there, just that i can't find them. There was no-one there to answer my query and I'm not even sure if the building is staffed.

I had a good look in the older section but really I need to know more about the plot location. Was 1890 the burial registration or the plot ref? Also can you give me an approx date and I will have another look.

Location and appearance is quite beautiful and serene, well maintained but sadly lots of markers missing and more in dangerous condition.

Will wait to hear from you

Best wishes
Tony

Hi Tony

Thanks for looking, 1890 is the plot reference for all four graves in the Mossley cemetary from the tameside.gov council site

Mary Mallalieu
Cemetary section-Old part
Grave reference-1890
Appointment date (burial I presume) Friday 1 Feb 1901

The Section and Grave Ref are the same for the others

Samuel Broadbent Mallalieu
Appointment date- Monday 24 April 1899

Edith Mary Mallalieu
Appointment Date-Monday 24 April 1899

ooh same date I think I'll have to get the death cert for cause of death.

and John James although I'm not sure where he fits in is the same Grave ref and section but buried in about 1918 from what I remember, having the same name and being in the same section I'm hoping the gravestone will hold some clue.

many thanks again

Hi Tessa,
I've requested details from Tameside and will follow up asap. Looks to be an intriguing one with Father and Daughter dying on the same day and presumably the Mother dying within 2 years.

Fingers crossed

Thanks Tony,

Yes it does look intriguing, the surviving daughter was my G Grandmother.

Many thanks
Tessa

Hi Tessa,
I've had a look round for 1899 tragedy\disaster in Mossley with no luck, so it might be a family tragedy
I will try the local newspaper archives next. A Father and Daughter to die on the same day in those days would have been headlines in Mossley. Don't know if newspaper archives exist but will do my best to track them down.

Don't you just love the Rootschatters concept, it's so rewarding and fun

Cheers

Ooooh thank you Tony, it didn't occur to me they might be in the papers, fingers crossed 

Don't you just love the Rootschatters concept, it's so rewarding and fun

It certainly is, I find it just as much fun looking for other peoples family as I do for mine 

Thanks again
Tessa

Hi tessa,
No luck with the archives yet and also Tameside a bit slow replying so i'll give them a nudge.

Best wishes
Tony
