burslem cemetery
« on: Thursday 23 April 09 16:23 BST (UK) »
Is there some kind person who lives near the Burslem Cemetery who would be able to photograph a gravestone for me and email it.  I have just found out that my great-grandfather and daughter are buried there in Grave #12468-

John Coventry Hewitt and his daughter Eva Charlotte Hewitt
both died in 1915 - John in April and Eva in August.

As I live in Canada it is improbable that I will ever get to do this myself. I would be forever grateful. Thank you.

Hi

I live near Burslem Cemetery, unfortunately it is massive and without knowing where a grave will be, it would take hours to find. 

If you contact the cemeteries office, they will usually let you have a map and tell you which block / row the grave is in.  I have a map but obviously I don't know the block / row.

You could try contacting them and see if they will tell you although last time I asked, they were charging for this service:

Tel. No. 01782 235050
Fax. No. 01782 234698

Torrygirl,

Saw this old post and wondered whether you ever got a picture?

I'm going to visit Burslem cemetery to get a picture for myself, as you've quoted the grave number it should be fairly simple to locate it. (I have a relative who is a funeral director, so with his help I should be able to find it). If you still need a picture, please let me know and I'll do my best to help.

Regards     Barry
