Hi Everyone,
I was really looking forward too! It's only seven days away, so hope the weather is fine then, pity it wasn't today as it's been quite nice.
See you all next week

  What a bummer, thought it may brighten up, as its raining heavy now 1.50am, ok, see what next weekend brings.

I know any photos you take are going to be the property of Manchester Council, but just supposing you found the grave of an ancestor of a Rootschatter who had just happened to ask you to take a photo of the grave as you were in the area for the day? 

I have had kind Rootschatters take photos of graves in Lincolnshire and Scotland for me.

My g.aunt Edith Florence Cockett was buried in Grave 45, consecrated section on 30 March 1894.  Any chance of her gravestone (if she ever had one) still being there.  She was only 5 when she died.

  Hi all,

I agree with cancan, it was a excellent day, hard going though, some stones today under a foot of soil but, happy with what we all got done today & looking forward to next week, can't get any harder surely? hope not.

There will be some new pics going on the web site & maybe a video that cancan took, looking forward to seeing that.

More volunteers would be good too

Hi Spatts,

Video was taken for Luzzu, as being in Malta, she's unable to see what it is really like!   So it is for personnel use ONLY

But it is a good idea for the website!  But,  have a feeling consents from the Council would be needed, and to be honest don't fancy the hassel trying to find out!

If anyone has any ideas of what they'd like to do or see for the website, just drop us a line!
