Gravestone Topic=The Gravestone Store

Judging by all the questions still being asked about Gravestones. We cant understand why anything to do with them cant be kept on one topic or merged with a similar one and stickied. There is only one other topic just on gravestones but its more of a chat/fun room   (more pictures of Elvis than gravestones )This one would be for everything Grave

I ma more than happy to do look ups for people and with the aid of a digital camera it's not so hard.  This topic has come up before and I do think we are the new train spotters but we are just a bit more sinister - hey we'll be down with the kids - gothic!

Hi Celia, as soon as I pass my test I will look up anything you want in Hyde-until then, unfortunately it will have to be in my local area -or a bus ride away.

Have only just found this topic - it's great - loved Marie's trip into the outback   

I visit cemeteries (definitely a weird hobby according to the friends and relatives) in Brisbane, Qld, Australia. Locations can be checked at

Hi All,
Does everyone who is interested in Aust Burials have this address?  Some listed cemeteries offer online information, others have postal address for information.

I am now confused as to whether I can place a request for a visit/picture/reading of headstone on this board or not.  I truly value the offers of English contacts on rootschat because for me everything is impossibly far away!!!
At the risk of upsetting the management, I will request here and if they want it eleswhere, I am sure they will say.  If I don't get much interest, I will do the unforgivable and post eleswhere on another board as well.

A man at Greenwich .gov.uk got this information for me about possible ancestors in WOOLWICH old Cemetery.

Benjamin John Parrett. Section L number272
H.V. Parrett (address19 Charles Street, Woolwich)
Olive Parrett Section D number 340 (address Hulk Alley Church Street, Woolwich.
As you see, there are no dates given,but if there was a headstone, it may reveal something.  Thanks in Hopes. Sue
