Hello There has been an interest in Burials in the Rake Lane Cemetery. I can do a look up If you give me enough information Like death year (not i think year  ) and possible religion, thats important. It would be appreciated if you could look up the death First if you are not sure of the year or the nearest possible year. before requesting a Burial lookup. This will save me time and assure that the person did die in the area. The burials go back to the late 1800 (Flaybrick and Rake Lane only) And give the address of the deceased person. Archives only open Thursday Friday and half day Saturday By appointment. Other cemeteries I can do a burial look up for are
Landican Cemetery Opened 1934
Plymyard Cemetery Opened 1930
Frankby Cemetery Opened 1940
Wallasey Cemetery, Rake Lane. Opened 1883
Heswall Opened 1960
Flaybrick Memorial Gardens (formerly Flaybrick Cemetery) 1864
UPDATED 26TH NOVEMBER 2004
I HAVE NOW HAD A REPLY TO MY QUERIES FROM THE ARCHIVIST AS TO HOW MANY DIFFERENT RELIGIONS THEY HAVE ON FILM IN THE BURIAL INDEX.SO I KNOW HOW MANY FILMS I MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK THROUGH IF THE RELIGION IS NOT KNOWN  THEY ONLY HAVE TWO RELIGION'S KEPT SEPARATE C.O.ENGLAND & CATHOLIC. ALL OTHER RELIGIONS ARE ON THE NONE CONFORMIST FILM. SO IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF THE RELIGION BUT KNOW YOUR ANCESTORS WERE NOT CATHOLIC. THAT WILL MAKE ANY FUTURE LOOK UPS MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.
The link below will Take you to my Merchant Seaman Monumental inscriptions

Karen Would i be right in thinking that you think Seacombe is in Birkenhead  Seacombe is in Wallasey, but it does rub shoulders with Birkenhead Town. I don't know about the houses in B/Head still standing they have done a lot of Demolition in B/Head the last few years.Edith Road is though and probably Beaconsfield. While i am waiting to do you first request I will see if i can remember where the seacombe roads are and take a couple of photo's for you over the next few days.As for your question about Ordering a death certificate You need to know the place the person died and the year. Also if they were married the name of the deceased husband/wife .for instance if you wanted the death certificate of a person that died in Seacombe the registration office is in Birkenhead so you just apply there giving them as much info as possible. You don't need an exact date. Certificates cost £7.50

Hi Andrea saw you post today,so i presume you found your birth and peter?was it? sent you a census.that's good news for you. If it's not raining tomorrow Sunday i will go and see if i can find That McNab Headstone for you. The plot is by the cemetery lodge so i am hoping it's in better condition than the others. As far as i remember it's got a lot of headstones on it. It would be nice to find a Head Stone i was looking for cos i haven found one yet 
for variouse reasons. I know Tudor Avenue is around somewhere because I've seen it. but i cant find it on the street map is it in seacombe? When i do would you be wanting a photo?

Hi Andrea my mistake about your source for the census, Do i have your email number? so i can answear some of your other questions. My Brains overloaded at present cant remember  Anyway good news found you stone and i didn't have to do any work,easiest job i have had so far. The only thing i have done is change the contrast so it can be seen better. I have also not made it smaller as i don't have to put the inscription on as well. so now it's on RootsChat your family can see it. I haven't yet found a way of printing one post out.so i will send you one to your email address
Have had to remove photo for time being.

P.S Andrea the headstone seems to be deep in the earth as it is rather short .I did tread the grass down and pull small amount of soil away. The inscription continues further down after the last line you can see. It would have been irresponsible of me to pull away the soil in the front. Because i don't know how deep it is.I would hate to contribute to it's fall in later years. I looked at that map as well cant figure it out though. not being a driver i am usless at map reading. I get lost in the supermarket

Hi Andrea I was going to remove your Headstone from the topic as it was not part of my intentions to take photo's. I am willing to take a photo's of a grave Stone, but i can only do that if i find the burial (which gives me the plot number) of an ancestor.For the person who has put in a request . However i have decided to leave it on otherwise the post's wont make sense. In Future i will send any photo's i get Direct. I think i have done all i can for you at the moment. In Regard to other questions, not related to this topic.Things like census questions,you can ask for a census lookup (Cheshire) . If you Go to Beginners and ask a question someone will be there to give you advice and help

Hi Karen ,I have now found your house in Edith Road and taken a photo. Just as well i knocked to ask if the owner minded.Because she was in. I would hate to be charged with unlawful photo Taking I will send the photo to your email address.
Andrea I knew, of Tudor Avenue for some reason the name has stayed in my mind. when i eventually found it. I remembered it well, My best friend lived there. School friend that is haven't been there since. I Now know where the saying "I've lost the plot" came from. Tudor Avenue is now in the middle of a forrest of newer houses.I asked loads of people no one knew, i ended up going to the town hall it wasn't far from there. So your photo is now on the way, The house would have been well kept when your ancestors were there. unfortunately it's looking a bit neglected now.
Regards Celia
