New Southgate Cemetery - Grave Photo Please!!!
« on: Thursday 25 April 13 21:48 BST (UK) »
Hi! I was wondering if a kind person out there might be able to take a photo and make a note of an MI for me when they are next in New Southgate Cemetery? I live abroad and rarely get back to UK and would love to actually see my Great Great Grandparent's headstone.

If possible, the details are as follows:

The grave is for Robert George Cable (year of death 1934) and his wife Hannah Cable (nee Lusher) (year of death 1937).  The grave is number 1567 in Section G.  I have emailed the cemetery to ask them to email me a map with the grave location marked on it within section G but I have not heard anything back just yet (they are normally very good though), so at the moment all I have is the section map which I took from the New Southgate Cemetery website.  Unless I have the grave pinpointed on a map or the office is open to ask, it might be like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Any offers of help would be very gratefully appreciated!

Many thanks, Nina

Hi Nina

Do you have confirmation that the grave is marked by a headstone, as it is not always the case.

Hi Nina,

I live quite near the cemetery and I have been meaning to visit. I would be happy to look for the grave and photograph it while I'm there.

Let me know if you receive the map showing the grave location

Hi Nicola - thanks so much for your offer to help! 

I still haven't heard back from the cemetery which is rather unusual for them as they have always been very helpful in the past.  Maybe they are very busy at the moment with more current matters. 

If I don't ever get the map, would you be able to ask in the office when you go?  It's open all day and when I last went (over 5 years ago now) they showed me immediately where to go for the graves I was after at that time ... I know it would be easier to have the detailed map, but I'm a bit loathed to hassle them for it! 

Many thanks, Nina   :)

Hi Nina,

I will try to get to the cemetery on Friday, provided the weather is co-operative! I will enquire at the office if staff are available.

Best wishes
