Hi Ian & welcome, you left out a bit of information that might help any one looking for your graves. Without this extra info, they don't stand a chance of finding the graves.
Your Tonge gave 1232.
Should be:
C-of-E section
Grave NO Y 1232
In that grave Thomas William Tonge & Edward Samuel Tonge.

C-of-E Section
Grave NO K 319
In that grave Samuel Stephens, Jane Stephens, John Edwards & Ada Edwards

Hi Ian,
I live near Southern Cemetery, if you can't get there I will go and have a look for you and if there are Gravestones will take photos and send them to you.
Kind Regards

I have found a burial record at Southern Cemetery of a man who may be my grandfather, the burial number is 93792, name David Lynch, Date of burial 12/01/1924, burial Ground C of E Section S grave 182, he would have been about 30-40 years of age, I have searched on all the free sites for a record of his death without success, so a bit of a mystery.  Any help would be appreciated, if anyone is every down there and can check this man's age I would be grateful.

Hi,

A warm welcome to Rootschat.

The actual burial date is 1st December, 1924. 

David Lynch December Quarter registered Chorlton Aged 66.  Volume 8c page 957.

He was buried 1 Dec 1924 (not 12 Jan 1924), maybe the difference between British and American way of writing dates caught you out.  There is a death registration for David Lynch, reg District Chorlton, Dec Quarter, 1924 - Chorlton 8c 957.  He was aged 66.

Chorlton was /is a area of Manchester.

Mosiefish posted similar, but I have left this as there is a tiny bit more info!

Have you considered this one:

David Lynch aged 29 registered September Quarter 1922 Chorlton Volume 8c page 618.

Hi & welcome to rootschat.
You do know all these other Lynch family members are buried in that same grave?
David died age 66
A Cooper by trade.
Last known address: 12 Stafford street Hulme.
From these details you should know if he is yours or not?
Don't for get by this time people who were C-of-E also got cremated and there records are a little harder to come across.
