A mere thank you would have sufficed, rather than a lecture. May I suggest when you go to heaven you take it up with the person who compiled the 1860 Directory.

dobfarm..this forum is packed out with people who can only 'cut and paste'. But at least most of them manage to get the right council.

I have to say I would hate to have to sit on a bus behind you two discussing the weather.

I agree Dobby that my search of plans etc will probably prove useless.  I was originally hoping that someone might have an interest in or have seen a plan of said Cemetery.  Local knowledge is always invaluable.

Thank you and Ken again for your contributions.  Think I've come to the end of this enquiry.  Jill

Hi Jill,

Keep the thread open awhile! as I got to a seaside town Southport in the summer for day trips out! Just above Liverpool.

Asking around! as we say up North!(England) to find someone in the know from local knowledge! from people in the street or on the phone from staff of an organization asking  if they know who/where is the most likely place to obtain information wanted! has brought me some very good results in the past. Thus intend to continue.

Maybe more time in the real world and less in the virtual! would bring back the old memories of finding info. Even on a bus. ;D

Dobfarm. :)

If you enter

Hornby Road, Liverpool in google maps

Find the prison in satellite view

The cemetery is just behind it, at the entrance is a big field with no gravestones! but can see the rows of graves! taking the first row will be row 1 and first grave no 1 in each row from the entrance maybe.?

If you get a  grave map it may help overlay an approx aerial view photo impression of the decease's final resting place R I P

Hi Jill

I was at St Helen's transport museum yesterday and went to Walton cemetery after. The gate were locked as its Ricelane city farm now.

If you write to them they may help you.

I managed to take a photo of the municipal pauper grave field through the fence, the chapel in the distance, the gate in next posts.

The  field is quite quaint and be nice for a tree photo.
