Weaste Cemetery

Hi Heather

Thank you and thank you again!  I would really love a picture of the road, even if the house has gone, but I will look out the census.

I rang my aunt and she is going to look out the original document from Weaste.  She says there was a stone but not the usual kind.  If I got it right it's one of those with a kind of flat lid and little walls with writing on but they said it had sunk quite a bit so I don't know if you'll be able to see any writing. 

Mind I don't know how fast they sink, but the last burial was only  fifty years ago, and it must be over ten years since she started with these I think.

Thank you so much for both your offers.

Best wishes

Hi Heather

Thank you again for your kind offer.  I'm wonderinh if I've got my Cemetery Roads a bit mixed.  Actually, it was 1891 aand 1901 when the brother was  caring for the cemetery and he of course was at Moston.  By then the family were at Church Street Pendleton.

In 1881 he was still at home when they lived at Cemetery Road but I'm wondering if there's more than one.  I asumed it was by the cemetery where he was working but it wouldn't be Weaste then.

This is 14 Cemetery Road, Pendlebury , two doors from Cemetery Lodge andthen it goes round the corner to 1 Kirkham Street.  Is this your Cemetery Road or is there another one? 

I'll let you know when I get the grave number confirmed.

Thank you again and best wishes

Hi Emms, you sorted out where and who we are trying to get a grave photo of yet? I am getting a little confused now? Have you managed to phone the cemeteries yet and see which one they buried in?

Hi Migky

Sorry Yes I have confused you.  I think you missed out on a bit in the middle.

I always knew which cemetery and the detail.  I just decided I've read the plot wrongly as I wrote it with my left hand.  We've got all the other details and like I said my aunt's looking it out.  I think you've missed out the bit after your question or something's gone in between.

The last bit about Moston was just because Heather was talking about Cemetery Road and my Hoeys lived in Cemetery Road, but I don't know if that's the one by Weaste.

Here's the bit.

Hi and thank you so much everybody.

Thank you for the information - nearly all news to me - and the offers to photograph. All really appreciated.

I'm sorry I've not been back on sooner, but my mouse started smoking - by it's tail! a couple of nights ago. so I had to shut the computer off rapidly. I got back pom without a mouse, but I couldn't master the Rootschat system. Anyway I'm back in action.

Sorry I confused you Migky. We're confused too, and that's only the tip of the iceberg! Though it has to be said there was a lot going on in the religious world at this time and they won't be the only ones.

I just meant that we do know that Gurney is buried at Weaste and have all the details for the grave, except that the number was jot quite clear. On our system I can sometimws tell if a digit isn't quite clear what it will be.

Also, in reply to your question about th religion, I just meant that being buried at Weaste when most of the family were at Moston which is Catholic was a bit surprising, so might poiint to him not being.

I'll contact the relative I got this from, for clarity on the number.

Thank you for the kind offers to look at the grave. Only thing is, I don't know if I'll find out in time. We did know he is buried at Weaste, but I would love to see a picture of the area he's in and also what styae it's in and whether it's been taken over or anything?

This bit just meant I was surprised they'd gone to Weaste if Gurney was a Catholic when everyone else was at Moston.

The son who brought the grave was definitely a catholic, but we're surprised if this is the case that the grave is not at Moston.

I'll put the number on as soon as I get it.

Thank you again for all your help.
Sorry I confused you.

Hi Emms,

I think we are all getting a bit mixed up but senior moments do occur. 

I was on about the Cemetery Road that leads to Weaste Cemetery. I can though go to the Cemetery Road in Pendlebury as well, it's not too far. I am happy to cover Salford and I am sure Debbie is as well and Ken and Migky appear to be happy to cover the Moston side for you.

So as soon as you are certain just let me know and snow permitting I will take them for you.

Hi and Thank You all!

Heather, I was only really asking if this would be the same Road.  I'm always really thrilled when any of you take any photo's for me, but I don't want you to get more than you bargained for when you replied.

I have looked at maps and things but I still get confused with these Manchester areas.  The only ones I know that have all the areas named are so big I get confused anyway, and some roads seem to have different names on different documents.

Yes, the snow does put a different perspective on things doesn't it?  very pretty if you're only photographing the garden, but otherwise it's a different matter!"  I must admit though, I'm itching to get nearer the fells with a camera.

Thank you again.

Don't worry about it.

Hi Emms

I have just re read a post you put on. You mention the Cemetery Road leading to Kirkham Street - this is definitly Weaste Cemetery. Kirkham Street runs parallel to Cemetery Rd in Weaste.

Will take pics for you of it when I go to the grave.
