Manchester cemetery's plot maps

[failsafe]

Dear Failsafe,

Thank you for the speedy response. I received a copy of the Gorton Cemetery Plot Map from another member to the list within minutes after my post.

...can I ask a supplemental here (still learning the communications protocol as a new member)...

Is there a public available list that enables you to match the Grave number you get when you use the Manchester Burial Records Search with the Cemetery Plot maps ?

Cheers,

Barry

Hi Tongue

The answer is as MIGKY has stated, unfortunately.

It would make our lives easier,
but everyone seems to want a payment off you. The information that we all request should be ours of as right, they are our relatives, and not the councils.

Why should we pay for information that is rightfully ours? They sting you when you are alive and when you are dead.

It's about time someone started a petition to prevent this outrageous exploitation

Dear Failsafe / Migky:

Thanks to both of you for your help...I am thinking it is actually a scheme of the local tourist board for encouraging visiting genealogists as it is becoming apparent it might be cheaper to fly in and look at records than pay the increasing costs....

I am now better informed on several fronts.

Cheers,

Barry

[Mr. MIGKY]

You can not send Privet messages untill you have posted three times on the forums.

Look at this   http://www.rootschat.com/help/pms.php

Don't forget you need the full burial number and letter plus what section they are in to stand a chnce of finding the right grave.

Hi Cowgirl1

As far as I am aware the burial plot numbers maps are not in general circulation, but you can make an appointment at Blackley Cemetery to view and photograph the plan/s you need "this is under the freedom of information act"

You cannot just turn up at Blackley you need to make an appointment, I think Mr Lunn is the person to ask for.

Ps
OOpss - Should have mentioned what failsafe said on the next posting (Burial Plot & Section Location plans) are 2 different things.

Hi Cowgirl1
MIGKY has answered best part of your query.
The maps don't contain burel plot numbers. They are cemetary layout maps which tell
you which section, for example section K, consecrated, is. Quite handy if you want this and to find your way out, for cemeteries can bea nightmare to navigate.

Details of plot numbers are held by the Council, you can do a searg but you will have to pay a fee for it
Soz can't be more helpful

[Mr. MIGKY]

If any one want cemetery plans from Lancashire burial ground. Most of them are now back on the Lancashire resources threads. Another time consuming effort by MancsMan.
