Title: Wesleyan Cemetery, Cheetham Hill, Manchester.
Post by: graham daniel on Saturday 02 February 13 09:39 GMT (UK)

I have recently discovered that several of my ancestors were buried in the above cemetery. Some years ago Tesco built a new supermarket on the site and the remains were moved to a mass grave in Bury Cemetery. Some were moved to Southern Cemetery, Manchester.

Is there a list available of who was moved to where ?

Were there any memorial inscriptions done as it would be of interest to me what was on the gravestones ?

The main person of interest is my Great Great Grandfather George Frederick Daniel who died in 1858 aged just 37.

Thanks
Graham Daniel

Graham - welcome to RootsChat.

I recognised your question as a subject that's come up on here before & did a search.

Cancan put up a photo at the time and then had access to some records:

There's also post #63 on this thread:

There are more, but they give some answers.

In case you've not seen it there are some records (no Daniels) on Interment.net with some photos:

I too am also looking for my father and possibly other members of his family that were buried here.  I have tried to contact Cancan who published a post but am unable to contact them.

If anybody has any suggestions or places that I would be able to get this information I would be grateful if you could reply to this post. 

I have been in touch with Bury and they say they don't have any names??

Thank you

Good luck.  If your PM still won't go, just reply to this again, then it certainly will.

The other main stumbling block on here for beginners is they post names of people who could still be alive.  Unless you know for sure they are dead, don't post the name of anyone who was born less than 100 years ago.  When someone does that, the moderators replace the name with asterixes, which makes giving help a bit tricky!

Thanks Cancan,
I've only just seen your reply. I've looked at the microfilms at City Library in Manchester and found quite a lot of 'Daniel's' in that cemetery. Interesting to see what was written on George Frederick Daniel's gravestone as he was my 3 x great grandfather.

Hi, are we still able to get lookups for transcriptions of headstone of the former Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery of Cheetham Hill?  I have Stubbs Lambert, buried there 14 Jul 1908. Supposedly in grave# 685 according to the data from findmypast, although that number doesn't line up with the entry I found in the list of transcriptions of the cemetery on the familysearch website

Hi,
I am also interested if anyone can provide cemetery transcription information from the Manchester Cheetham Hill Cemetery. I have the burial record for my 4th great grandfather William Fletcher who died Nov 1, 1839 and was buried there in grave 1642, Progress #4722. He was interred Nov 6 and was 42 years old.  His wife Sarah (Lancashire) may have died before him or just after (a Mrs. Fletcher, Pawnbroker of Ashley Lane was found drowned in the river in May 1840) but William's probated will makes it sound like his wife was dead by Nov 20 1839 (probate date). Any information re a transcription for William and Sarah or any other family members that might be associated with him or his gravestone would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much.

This is my first time using RootsChat so I didn't know whether to reply to a post on the topic or start my own post which I haven't figured out how to do yet.
