I realise this is a very late request but I have just stumbled across this thread.
The Manthorpe Road Burial Ground is where my GGGrandfather is buried.
John Simpson  - d1841.  Simpson is mentioned in Kathy's list of photos she took there.
Manthorpe Road  ground is only open once a year so it is very difficult to visit - if anyone can point me to Kathy for a pm I'd be very grateful.

 There are some interments, but no photographs, on this link:-

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2570515&CScn=manthorpe&CScntry=5&

 It is a good way of archiving and sharing records, particularly if there are photographs, although it can be time consuming. I have added some for Bourne, Market Deeping and Bitchfield.
