Manchester cemetery's plot maps

[Gaille]

If you take the time to Google all of these map are available. MancsMan & myself put them on here a long time ago but took them off for copy rights reasons.

Do you have any idea if its possible to get maps for All Saints, Orford Rd and Holiinwood anywhere?
I have tried googling but I cant seem to get anywhere.
All Saint and Orford Rd are both long gone now, but I would like a visual idea of the layout, cos I have seen both and wondered how they were laid out.

Hi, Ken,

Nicholas Fulham, My Great Grandfather, Died on the 4th May 1913.

I'll have to do a bit more hunting around to find the exact dates for everyone else.

                                                   Cheers,
                                                                  Terry
                                                             

He is buried in Phillips park cemetery.

10/05/1913 Nicholas Fulham Philips Park Cemetery  age 52 R.C. section D312.

Hi, try OXFORD RD> for All Saints. The Church stood in a circular plot inside a square enclosure. The entrance(west door)faced up towards St Peter`s square quite a way off. The east end was up towards Cavendish street . The square area surrounding the Church was Grosvenor square on both E and W sides.The circular plot surrounding the Church had 3 entrances  with paths1 from G square E    1 from Gsquare W and 1 from Oxford road which was on the N side .  I can remember it well  as I often went to the museum at the University and passed All Saints . It was a most immpressive building  although damaged in the 1940 blitz. The 10,000people who were interred in the grave yard are still there and the site is a garden . There appear to be4 vaults on the south side of the Church on the 1831 map I am looking at. This is BANK`S & CO`S plan of MANCHESTER & SALFORD . Survey done by Richard Thornton in 1831. Re-issued by Neil |Richardson in 1982. Original in Greater Manchester Record Office. Hope this helps . Imagine a circle inside a square with the sides of the circle almost touching the square at 4 points leaving almost triangular corners except the  sides nearest the Church are of course curved .I am not sure if these  were the burial plots or the  circular plot immediately surrounding the Church divided by the three e ntrances with paths to the Church .                     Viktoria .     [/quote

Hi Vicktoria,

Thank you for the description

I think we are on different All Saints tho, I think the one you are describing is in the City?
The one I was meaning is at the junction of Briscoe lane & Church Street in Newton Heath, and Orford road is its 'overspill' cemetery as it only had a tiny churchyard due to being on enclosed on 3 sides by roads.

Hi Failsafe, Yes wrong All Saints Sorry. I do know  your All Saints too but not the cemetery. It is so close to Philip`s park cem I`d never thought about it. A lovely little Church and very old I believe -not Victorian -a rebuild in 1808-1815 of the former16th C one. The graveyard extension has sadly been closed since 1969 and converted into playing fields. My apologies I thougt it was a litle slip of the finger Orford - Oxford. Best of luck with your search Viktoria

Yes I'm afraid I don't have that niether.
Rather old and no longer listed

Hi Gaille

No plans of Orford Road are in the public domain as far as I am aware, the only thing to suggest would be to write to the Church warden at All Saints and ask the same question.

Good Luck
Ken

I would totally agree with MancsMan

Its a case of chasing up the parish (if they still have records)

Good luck
