Nottingham Burial
« on: Monday 15 August 11 20:12 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know if there is anywhere online that has burial registers for Nottingham General Cemetery?

I'm looking for Henry Matthews died 1877, William Matthews died December 1884, Alfred Matthews died October 1921 and Mary Jane Matthews died September 1926.

Thanks very much.

Lesley

Hi,
I'm going into Nottingham Archives today and can look those Burials up for you.

Thank you very much to both Carol (for the info) and Nottsgirl (for the lookup offer).

Does anyone know if there is a map available at the cemetery to help locate graves?  I'll be visiting England in a few weeks and would love to get photos of the grave.

Thanks,

Lesley

Hi,

 There is no map showing where all the .graves are so have to ask the people who run the cemetery to locate it for you,  so If you email the cemeteries at the email address below with the grave number they will send you a map showing where the grave is.

Well, I tried the email and actually got a very quick response. I did get a map of the cemetery, unfortunately, it was Rock Cemetery! Don't think that will help! They said that was the only copy they had.

I also tried another email that I found online and also got a very quick response. They said that the only map for General Cemetery is at the archives.

Again, thanks to all for their help.
