8)We receive a large number of enquiries via the Manchester General Cemetery Transcription Project website for help in finding graves at cemeteries other than Manchester General. We set up a page on the MGCTP website covering the cemeteries that we are asked most about but we need to extend that now and find we don’t have the space to cover everything we need.
We also think its important that the MGCTP website only includes information about Manchester General Cemetery. We have therefore set up “Manchester Cemeteries”, a sister website for the Manchester General Cemetery Transcription Project website.
We wanted to try and answer the most frequently asked questions we are asked and also include some of our cemetery finds, such as the memorials at Southern Cemetery for the Chorlton Union, Wesleyan Cheetham Hill and Walkers Croft reburials. We are also offering grave searches at Southern Cemetery as well as Manchester General. We can also offer help with checking monumental inscriptions from the various cemeteries/churchyards featured.
This is the link to the Manchester Cemeteries website:-
