Hi Sharon

Thanks for all your efforts.  Hope you don't have too many blisters on your feet from searching for Abraham's grave!

Thanks again, your efforts are very much appreciated.

I was told that taking photographs of graves would cost me £10.00, but i thought paying that sort of money i should at least get more for it. I am now getting my photos from GWWPP as they only cost for hard copies £5.50p.

Really? And who's charging that? The cemetery authorities demanding a fee for being on their territory? Or someone offering to take the photos for you?

Certainly I took my own photos for free when I was last there and I think it's a diabolical liberty if someone is asking for cash to do it!

I can't see how the cemetery authorities could charge you unless a member of their staff is taking the photos on your behalf? They wouldn't even know if you were there taking photos yourself surely? If a member of the public is trying to charge you for taking photos on your behalf that is out of order! I'm shocked!

Hi,
Thanks very much for letting us know about the error on the Boats page. We'll try to get it rectified.
Unfortunately we don't have a photo of this grave, although we would be able to take one as part of our grave finding service. We ask for £10 and will provide a photo and transcription of the inscription. If you'd like to take this forward please send a cheque payable to "Friends of Dean Rd and Manor Rd Cemetery to 9 Stepney Grove, Scarborough, YO12 5DF.
We'd be very interested in hearing about your relative's life story as part of our research into the history of people buried in the cemetery, and would be grateful for anything you could share.
Regards,
Jan Cleary
Chairman

this is the email i recieved.
I was looking for Robert "Tip" Heritage a skipper who swam 25 miles to shore only to die, he is one of my ancestors from the Heritage Family and i am bloody proud of him. I do not need any photos as i am getting them from the GWWPP and i have found them to be very good as i have used them before.

Well I certainly wouldn't pay it, Friends of the Undead Society or not!

There are plenty of folks on here who will do it for free when they are next there; hell, I'd do it me'sen but I won't be going home to S'boro till Christmas.

Come on folks - there's gotta be a local yokel on here who'll do it?

Falconheart, if you ring the Woodlands Cemetery in Scarborough they will be able to tell you the plot and grave number for your relative. If you post the info in the forum hopefully a local might offer to take a photo for you. Hope that helps (would offer myself but I won't be back up in Scarborough until next year)

The War Graves Photographic Project is doing me a photo, thanks.
I have used them before and found they were very good.
