PS.

Looking at the aged 44 the 4's have a distinct sharp corner on the left of the 4's in 44 but not in the 4 in if 1043 therefore it must be 1093 (see register  image 1903 )

Hi all,
I have found the grave 1043 easily, the hearstone is laid face down, there is a James Radcliffe (buried feb 1959) engraved on the curb of the grave. ( Ring any Bells?)
I have not found grave 1093, i thought i was on the right row, but i seem to be a row out and because there are steps along side this row that get wider as you go downhill i must have slipped up.
I will go back this weekend and find the grave, even if there is no stone.
i will need to get myself some markers and find stones nearby that i can identify.
The undergrowth is rather thick and hard to get through but i will find it.
if the Radcliffe name rings any bells i will stand the headstone up and record it.
Regards,
Andy.

Hi Andy

With there bing a Radcliffe name in grave 1043 also, why would the writer change the style of his precise neat 4's in aged 44 to a fast scribble 4 on the grave location in the next box entry 1043. also its very faint but can see a full joint up on the top of the 9- grave 1093 also the top of the 3 is very faint or missing

see image below

Hi Andy

I've checked the original Register of Kingcross and Esther Partington is buried in grave plot 1193

I also took notes of people in the following graves but may not be the first name as found by date in the register. ( I don't know if any have headstones but by law of average some will)

Hello Dobby,
I had a wander round yesterday to get fresh markers for that area of the graveyard and i have found the location.
I will go today and clear the area and see if there is a stone or curb.
I record graves in the aproximate locations then go back and look at the registers.
It is much easier now that the book is online, saves lots of trips to the library.
i have markers for every row except this one as i cannot get near the top of the row due to far too much undergrowth.
Regards,
Andy

Hi Andy

Undergrowth ?- I've seen jungles thinner!! than that tangle of organic wirewool with spikes or was it razor wire.

Hi Dobby,
I found the grave easily, it was rather overgrown amd a tree is growing in the next grave blocking the light.
There is the main stone and 3 other people are comemorated arround the curbs. i have also taken a stood back view of the immediate area.
i have reduced the photo size for the website.
I will send original sizes if you PM me email address.
Regards,
Andy
