Horden Grave yard
« on: Monday 01 August 05 21:02 UTC (UK) »
My Grandfather James Thomas is buried I believe in Horden church yars, Co. Durham  however, I have just learned that the council removed all the headstones and levelled the ground due to vandalism.  Is there anyway I can find out if he was buried here and the date?
Thanks
Jane

If the council obeyed the law there should a transcript of the inscription sent to the Registrar General within two months of the date of removal.

Apart from that there should still be the burial register containing a list of all who were buried there.
These are often kept at the local crematorium
