Byker and Heaton Cemetery, Newcastle

[chiddicks]

I was wondering if any kind person would be able to kindly photograph a headstone for me that is in Byker and Heaton Cemetery, Newcastle? I have the grave reference from find a grave Sec. G. Grave 251. The man concerned died young aged just 20 during WW2, his name is Albert Edward Fearon and he died on 17th August 1940. Any help as ever is really appreciated.

Good Morning
I'm not in the area so can't do the photo but it is on Findagrave website and they do have a photo request option .

This is the nearest I can find online but he must be in one of the rear rows and I can't read those.

Thanks cider drinker, its a bit frustrating that the headstone wasn't in the pictures featured on the CWGC but I will submit a request to find a grave as you suggest, hopefully I might be lucky, many thanks.

I too am unable to help with a photo, but on the offchance you don't have these two entries in the same edition

Thanks for the newspaper clippings Boo, I had seen the first entry but not the second one, no idea how I missed it, so I really appreciate your help.

There are 64 find a grave transcribers associated with the cemetery so hopefully one of these kind people will be able to help.

Thanks

Oh that’s brilliant I can’t thank you enough for your help thank you so much Paul

You are very welcome; I'm glad to have been able to help out.

The memorial is in the second row behind the Chapel at the entrance and was very easy to locate.

The next step which is what I am researching now is their individual biographies.
