Look up for Rake Lane Cemetery Wallasey

[Bethanluisa]

Hi! I was wondering if someone might be able to look up a few names for possible graves and locations in Rake Lane Cemetery for me?
I'm in search for a family which I think may be buried there.
The first is Simeon James Gearing - born 1865, died 1939.
The second is Alice Gower - born 1863, died 1945.
The third is Hilda Frances - born 1897, died 1936.
And lastly, Sydney James Gearing - born 1898, died 1973.
If any of these could be located it would be a massive help! I would be very grateful to anyone that may be able to help.

Thanks, Bethan

I haven't got the time to trawl through the burial records but had a look at Monumental Inscriptions.  None of them are listed.  This could mean they were buried without headstones or buried/cremated elsewhere.  They are not listed in the local churchyards either.

I looked at some of the street directories and only found a Sydney Gearing on Merseyside who was living in 7 Poplar Bank, Huyton. That was the 1946 directory. In the 1964 one, he is living at number 5 Poplar Bank.  Sadly a lot of the directories in Wallasey are missing due to bombing in the war.

There were too many Francis names to go through in a limited time but no one of the name Frances in the MI's.  Sorry I can't be of more help!

Thankyou for helping me out! I realised that I'd made a mistake on my previous post, her name was not Hilda Frances but Hilda Frances Gearing - she is the one I am in fact most interested to find out about as she died young at 39. Would it be possible to check the records again for her with the right name this time? - I'm sorry this was my mistake!! Don't worry if not, but I would be very grateful. Thanks again for all your help!

Hello. I'm trying to locate the exact position of my grandfathers grave, Samuel Edward Pemberton in Rake Lane. The plot number is 12G90 and is an unmarked grave with 5 people interred. I know it is near a grave for an 'Emma Bott' but would like to know exactly where. Could anyone help?
Thanks. Paul.

Hi Bethan,

Had another look but nothing again. I can maybe try the records in Birkenhead but it won't be until the kids summer holidays?

Paul, I have taken photo's of Emma Bott's grave and estimated roughly where your grave is.  The numbering in that section is particularly bad.

For some unknown reason I cannot post the photo's.  Mod I am not getting the attachment option showing??  I'm not sure if Paul can use the PM yet but if he can, please send email address and I will send them.

No replies from both above.  I don't want medals, just replies.

Hi I am really sorry I didn't realise you had replied to me until now! I didn't get a notification and have only just come back and checked.
Thankyou so much for all your help - I am still on the hunt for this family if you do by any chance have any time to check at Birkenhead that would be amazing. If we could find any of the family members it would be amazing. Here is an outline of them again -
Simeon James Gearing b.1865 d.1939
Alice Gearing b.1863 d.1945 possibly?
Hilda Frances Gearing b.1897 d.1936
Sydney James Gearing b.1898 d.1973

Is there any other info you need me to provide that would be of help?

Many thanks and sorry again!!!

Hi,
Could someone possibly look up two graves for me?
I'm trying to find William Pickthall died 1985 to 1987 and his wife Agnes Pickthall (nee Hussleberry) died 1987. If it helps their son Martin William Pickthall's ashes were scattered on the graves. Born October 1969 died 2000.
Thanks
