I am very interested and wonder how you managed to obtain them. I have seen those o f Philip`s Park cemetary when they we still held there. Would you know if Queen`s Park cemetary maps are also available?I believe it is now a closed cemetary . I am pretty certain some of my mother`s family-aunts etc and infant siblings who died very very young. Any info on ei ther Philip`s park and Queen`s Park most gratefully recieved. Viktoria,

Hi
Queens Park is officially known as Manchester General. I still think it is open. If you want a copy
please PM me with your email address
failsafe

Manchester General is closed to new graves but still open to existing plot owners.

This cemetery is unusual in so much as only 2 sections CH (Church of England) and NC (Non Com) are here. People of the Roman Catholic faith may be buried here but they will be in NC sections.

All the council cemetries are getting a face lift at the moment, and I must say they are looking better for it.

I would love a copy of maps for Philips Park Cemetery in Manchester. Have just located ancestors there.

Good evening failsafe

I have just read your message and i wonder if you could look to see if there is any George Hindley buried either at Gorton or Manchester cemetry. If so i would love to have a copy of the cemetry plots especially if they are all named as i may find a few more relatives.

Thank you

Jackie

Hi please send me a PM with your email address and which cemetery map you wanted and i will email it to you. Bear in mind the map is of the cemetery based on the sequestering that Manchester do, e.g. plot K, it does not contain the burial/grave numbers, unfortunately.
Have fun

Yep sadly  :( failsafe they do still charge - but the information they do let you have is in valuable "all you pay for really is the burial register image". The grave number that comes up does cover RC/CofE & NC sections but it is very easy to work out who's who by checking the 3 locations.

We have an on going project which at the moment is just covering Philips Park, the aim is to make available the plot number locations maps for all Manchester council cemeteries, these plans are a god send in locating a plot, but copyright issues at the moment prevent us from offering any information from or about them.

Regards
Ken
