Hello failsafe,

Your post interested me as I have ancestors from Lancashire, their possible burials may be in Southern Cemetery, Philips Park and Manchester General  if I could see copies of those. I don't know if it will help me but I wouldn't mind a look.

Thanks Pat

Hi Gaille
Just out of interest you mention that you will check your usual site.
Which is that please?

Hi I use this one to double check details:

http://www.burialrecords.manchester.gov.uk/GenSearch.aspx

What I ususaly do is go check the BDM records, then put the name in along with the date of death, and add 6 weeks on the search option & see what comes up.

I also use the Lancashire online parish Clerks site to see if I can find names on there.

Basically I used about 3 sites in conjunction.

I also have a good contact in one of the Cemeteries that helps me out on occasions - lol all came from a query about a database that was wrong, and we ended up on great email terms, he is a great help when I am stuck!

Hi Gaille
I assume you got the maps then?

If it is within your distance then It might be worthwhile having
a look-see. There may be someone in the office who might be able to
help you.

You could try and do a search via Manchester Council Website, just look under burials,
but from what I've been told it doesn't come cheap.

Another option would be to post a new thread and see if any Root Chatters will be able to assist you as some go round taking photos of graves. Worth a try.

Sorry I can't be of much help.
Good luck

I am sorry!

I typed up a thank you & forgot to send it!
(Customers at work distracted me!)

My problem at Gorton is the Burial is my Mums baby cousin Aged 3 or 4 months, he is buried in his grandparents grave - and the grandparents names are mistrancribed on the index.

I was talking to the database manager the oter day & he says it will be updated in the next few weeks (january is a busy month) when thats done i am going to see about getting a proper transcript.

Hadnt thought of asking for help to be honest, might do that, poor little baby has all but been forgotten apart from by me & his brothers wife - no one else seems to remember he was even born - even my Mum didnt know about him, and shes his cousin.

Hi Jan

The maps are a layout of the different plots, they do not provdie burial plots or names etc.
In essence they are a map of different plots depending on religious denomination, but might
prove useful to you. I will send them to you in a zip file, let me know when you receive them please.

You can make a search via Manchester Council website, keyword burials, but this can be quite expensive if you don't have all the relevant details.

Good luck
I will send them to you asap
