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.

Well. there is no reason why he will not be there.
As how else would they put this in the paper.
The problem is finding the Resting place
Not so much a problem as time consuming
All the verger can do surely is to confirm he is there
Unless there is of course
A map of the grave yard such as the cemeteries use
And then you may be able to pin point the area and also the grave number.

I could be wrong on this one Edna so don't hold me to it.
But it may save your sister at least a little time
Father Macenzie was Catholic, St Peters is C of E
So I don;t think he will be in that church yard.
He is just in the song and its not realy suggesting the song is about St Peters.

My Brother in law used to be a taxi driver in the city and often did the tours and he told me Father McKenzie is two rows back from Ellenor Rigby but I dont know about the religious side of things but we will know hopefully by tonight if she has found the grave of Robert W Stead or any further information on him.

She will be ringing me soon so any last minute requests or information for her please add it now.

Graham Paisley

Looks like were all on the move again  ;D

Good luck to your sister, Edna, doesn't look like anyone will be at the church today to help out though.

Fingers crossed and breath held (well just a bit)

Dawn

Hello Annie and rootschatters

Sister has just been on the phone and has been unable to find the grave today and has spoken to someone who says the virger is off today as we already know.

She says she will go back again for us another day so no luck yet sorry

 :( Looks like an unmarked grave if he's there then. We'll wait for the verger after the weekend.

Never mind Edna, please thank her for trying, still holding my breath and fingers are crosssed.

Did she find Ellenor Rigby and Father McKenzie?

She probably has not done all the graves yet you know
She said she was going back
She is on her own.
Give it a little more time
Possible it could also be over grown
Could you get an idea where she search from and to
Say as she walked in the main gates did she start on the left
