Could anyone help me with finding the cemetery, where my ancestors could be buried.
The family name would be Spargo.

Kevin the family are buried at St Andrews Church, Bebington. (As previous posts)

They are buried in Section D No. 302.  The headstone was removed in 1968.

In the plot are:
John Spargo, Ann Spargo, Cyril Edmund Spargo, John Thomas Spargo, Elizabeth Spargo & Alfred Spargo.
Hope that helps.

Thank you Colin,
This information is very interesting, as we had an idea that there was a Spargo family plot
and now we know the location.

My Grandmother was the daughter of Florence Alice Gardiner Spargo and her second husband             
James Atherton Downham.

I am still searching for the burial place of Florence Alice Downham, the name given on her death certificate in 1925 - she died in Smithdown Road Institution as it was called then.
The logical place would be Toxteth Park Cemetery, though present family members ie my mother and my aunt think she could be in a Downham family plot ?

I can only see one person with the surname Downham buried in Toxteth Park in 1925 and that is a 32 yr old spinster called Lily.

Thanks Emeltom,

Florence was 59/60 years of age when she died.
