Hi Sue
Well I found the correct section (thanks to the handy map from cheshiremog) but I'm afraid it was the same as she had found, that section is mainly grass. However we (my husband helped me) did check every headstone (barring 2 which were very badly overgrown with brambles) just to satisfy ourselves that there wasn't one for William Greeney.
I managed to find 2 markers on graves(most were worn off) one which was 3000 odd and another for the 4000 odd so I took some pictures of a couple of rows down where I imagined the rows for the 6000 odd would be. Also some general pictures of that section so you can see how peaceful it is.
I will have to upload the pictures tomorrow as I am awaiting the help of my son to do it and hes gone out!
Torquay cemetery has had some bad publicity this last year locally, as they have been removing headstones which they considered dangerous under the 'Health and Safety' act, but overall I found the Cemetery well cared for, I hadn't been there before only to the crematorium. Strangely it was a pleasant visit in the sun.
If you do have any further information to pinpoint the grave I dont mind revisiting and taking more photos of the exact location.
