Are You Sitting Comfortably Part 2

[Heyesie]

Have just spoken with Paul at Liverpool Record Office

He is 'confused' over death announcement in Liverpool Echo, in that if he was buried in a churchyard it would give the saints name of the church??? as St Stephens for the service is mentioned.

Anyway, the RO holds registers for St Peters Woolton up to 1901. 1926 is still most probably at the church.

He also suggested Allerton but we 'know' he's not there??

As you say, we're back to square one.

Dawn

It depends on whoever
Posted the announcmet and how they worded it

I know it was done a while ago and since then other info has come to light, but I have sent an email to the verger at St Peters apologising that is it unsolicited and if it is a duplicate request but asking if Robert is there as we have a dated announcement from the Liverpool Echo. I explained that I had spoken with Liverpool RO and they only have registers up to 1901.

Thank you Dawn ! ... I was contemplating doing the same !!

Great minds and all that!! Hope I didn't tread on anyone's toes by doing this.

You've done/you're doing such a great job on this and I feel that this is one way I can contribute.

If it wasn't for the distance involved I'd be up there tomorrow, going through Woolton, headstone by headstone (if there is one) or banging on the church door for an answer.

 See you all in the morning

Good evening to everyone,

I am impressed by all the energy that you are deploying.

Like you, if there were no distance (and especially the channel) I would browse the aisles of the cemetery and check the graves one by one.

I have a very dear sister who earlier tonight told me she was visiting the cemetery tomorrow to take photographs of the graves of Ellenor Rigby and Father McKenzie and to place flowers there and then I read the thread tonight so rang her back to ask her to go to the church and see what she can find out and if she can get details from the grave of Robert Stead if she can find it.

She is ringing me in the morning for the details so will look back later to see if I have the details right and if I have any other info to add for her

She is not computer literate so will only be able to make contact by phone and is willing to take a photograph.

She has this hobby of photographing everything in Liverpool of interest to leave for her family as a document of our life today.

Oh Edna ! ..... that's wonderful !

Thank you and your sister so much !! 

As we don't have any plot number or anything ...... maybe you could just tell her the details from the Echo funeral notice and ask her to ask at the office ... ( if there's one there ! )
