Southern Cemetery Manchester

[Berrie]

Had a look on the burial records. The George Alfred Turtle buried 1972 Manchester was 68, so born in 1904. I've saved the record if you want it.

It could be that that G A Turtle born 1888 was cremated. You could try emailing the Manchester Crematorium, which is situated next to Southern Cemetery.

Also if you think the family was of the roman catholic faith, then may be they could be in Moston cemetery?

Thanks so much for this information.  Yes I would like the burial details for the one in 1972 just to show I can eliminate him.  I am truly not sure if the one I am after was Roman Catholic as I thought it was the one in Southern Cemetery but alas no, but it is certainly worth checking them out.

Thanks everyone,
Heather

Hello,

I have just found quite a few of my ancestors on the 'Manchester online burials' page, all of them were burried at Southern Cemetery, so i'm now hoping to visit the Cemetery next month (August)
I live in the manchester area.
I can have a look for you Turtle family if you want?

Alison.

Thanks Alison,
that would be great and very kind of you.  Let me know if there is any more info you require.
Anthony Lee Turtle & Marie Lily Turtle are also in the Southern Cemetery but not RC.  They are in Church of England part plot 1698 if you can find them.

Hi Heather,

It's no problem, i have never been to Southern Cemetery before, but after finding about 10 ancestors burried there, i decided that i will take a trip there next month, i've already looked up bus numbers and how to get there so i'm ready to go!!

So just to check with you, you are after:

Turtle family at: HRoman Catholic section, grave 645
Anthony Lee & Marie Lily Turtle at: JJChurch of England, grave 1698

If you can send me a private message with your email address, i will email the photo's when i get them, like i said it's going to be August now, possibly 2nd or 3rd week.
and if you find any other family members at this cemetery, just let me know.

Alison.
