Making sense of Burial Index Ford Cemetry

[rebeccalj]

I am looking online at the grave/burial index via ancestory . co .uk  next to the name it gives the grave/plot number e.g AE563 which are hand writen out from 1939 however at the top of the page it says public section SV .

i dont understand as i know this is a private plot due to other relatives being in there but at the top of the page is is a public section ?

I would really like to revist and locate the plot properly however this information has confused me.

In the Liverpool RC burial records all those grave numbers that don't have a section letter prefix just a number are public graves in the section named at the top of the page. All private graves have a specific section letter prefix entered before the grave number. Both public and private burial records are in the one register or book. It's lazy recording really the public grave burial numbers should really have a section letter to avoid confusion. Also watch out for public burial entries in section B they are actually for BZ not B.
