Re: Locate a Grave: Hedon Road Cemetery

I am revisiting my family tree research. I have found notes I have made regarding my great grandmother - Hannah Frow (1852 - 2/11/1900)
I cannot find them online anywhere - so not sure how I obtained them.
My notes are as follows:-
Register Book of Burials in the Borough Cemetery, Hedon Road.
Hannah Frow (26718)
Compartment 39. Grave 22. Date death 2nd. Date buried 4th.
Age 48. Profession wife of Frederick Frow, hawker. Residence 11 New George Street.
Cause of death Cancer

I am local to Hull and would love to visit the grave. There are two cemeteries on Hedon Road, to my knowledge. I did search on 'Find a grave' but it appears only one shows up, and my great grandmother wasn't found.
With a compartment and grave number what would be the best way to find out where she is buried

Thanks

Hannah's burial at Hedon Road, the deails of which you have, is on FamilySearch. Need to be registered and logged in to see it.
It's a rather faded image

One other burial, which is Annie Maria Frow, on 28 August 1887.
Age 32, wife of Frederick Frow, Fruiterer. Died of Consumption.

Someone may come up with a more modern one, but they also have a cemetery section plan on there!
Which is here. It is repeated on the preceding and following images, this could be the best of the three. You will need to download it and turn it the right way round.

Records of this cemetery back to 1875 on FamilySearch

So this one

Thank you so much for your help, the information was very interesting.
I have contacted the council regarding visiting the grave, although I am not sure there will be anything to see.
On the Grave register, on some of the plots, it says 'full'. Would these likely be communal or pauper graves?
Thanks again

Hi
The grave isn't marked as public on the graves register. Nor does it say perpetuity. So I guess Frederick purchased it for a set number of years. Possibly for just two burials (some other full ones seem to have three burials)

What might have happened with the grave since those registers closed, I don't know. Hopefully nothing!
Good luck with the council, and do let us know if you get to see the grave.
