Burial lookup please, Welford Rd

[alisontoon]

Hi,

Is there any way of finding exactly where in Welford Rd. Cemetary someone is buried (i.e., other than Thomas Cook etc.)  I would like to ask one of my sisters to go and try to find the grave and take a photo.

I'm looking for the grave of John Bonnett North aka John Bonnett. He was buried in Welford Road Cemetery in December, 1863, in consecrated ground. In the burial index and on his second marriage certificate his name includes the "North", on all other documents, it is just John Bonnett.

Any pointers to the right area or plot would be most welcome!

Thank you :-)
