Lorne Road Cemetery Brentwood, Grave Lookup Please *COMPLETED Thanks*
« on: Saturday 11 October 08 13:26 BST (UK) »
Would some kind person help me please?

I'd like to know if  there's a  headstone for a burial in Lorne Road Cemetery, Brentwood, and if it does exist, then to know the inscription please.

A photograph of the headstone would be the icing on the cake  ;D ;D

The grave I'm interested in is:

Emma Glassen
Date of Burial: 2nd June 1922
Age 45


Burial Plot: C143

What I do know is that Emma was buried in a common grave, already occupied by a Mary Wise (buried 1904).  Whether there's a headstone is extremely dubious.  Would it be possible to place a headstone for one person, when the grave is already occupied by another unrelated person?

If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Thank you,

Anne.

As far as I know, from my own experience, "common graves" usually do not have a headstone, I was always under the impression "common graves" were for poor people, BUT I stand to be corrected

Good Luck

Thanks for your reply Louisa Maud, I thought that might be the case   :'(

I would also love to be proved wrong though.  Fingers crossed.

Regards
Anne

I visited this cemetery today at about 4pm. I could see no signs about opening times. Pedestrian access seems possible at any time. The cemetery is not very big so, relatively, there are not many graves. I saw no office to give help nor anyone working in the grounds. The vegetation is under control.
I looked round most of the cemetery looking for clues on the headstones as to how the graves were organised but saw no clues i.e. on none of the headstones that I randomly looked at did I see any that marked with any letter let alone any with letter C.
Do you know of any plan to the cemetery layout?
I am willing to return for another go

Dear Clincher

Thank you so much for your time and trouble.

A kind man at Brentwood council sent me a map of the cemetery with an approximate "X marks the spot" which I can email to you, if you would be willing to PM your email address (or can I send images via a PM?).

I am very grateful for all your help.

Anne.
