Hi DiandDave.
Welcome to Rootschat. 

I am afraid I do not have any of the surname Weekley.

Hi Sandy

Thank you for this kind offer! Would you be able to check if two of my relatives are on your list please?They lived on Midland Rd in Wellingborough.

Marcus Montagu Holme, died 1881 and William Tennyson Holme, died 1907. (The name was also often mis-spelt as Holmes).

Many thanks,
Sophie

Hi Sophie.

Welcome to Rootschat. 

I am afraid there are no stones that I have for that Surname.

Hi Sandy, I've been trying to find out where the registers are held, but getting no response from Wellingborough Council I'd like to create a history walk around the cemetery, highlighting some of the graves/people of interest.  If you could please point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!!!  I'd also like to create a 'friends of' group for the cemetery to help with maintenance etc. I do a litter pick every month but I know there is a lot of interest from other people. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hi Alison.

Welcome to Rootschat.

As far as I know the registers are held at Wellingborough Cemetery Office.

Maybe with Covid19 there are not dealing with Family History queries?

I have been trying for years to get a map but have not been able to.

As they say they do charge for some services.

I managed to track down the location of the burial registers for Doddington Road and London Road cemeteries in 2018.  I was told they are held by a company contracted by the council to maintain the cemeteries, called Wellingborough Norse.  I contacted the company, they took the registers from the safe to do a quick cursory search for me but had no luck because apparently the registers are in no chronological or logical order.  Very frustrating knowing two of my ancestors must be in there!  I’m surprised they’re not being transcribed, or transferred to the record office or something.  Though I don't know if the situation has changed since I contacted them...
