Ford & Yew Tree Cemetery Records

Thanks Blue This family were very poor so I guess they were buried in public graves. Mary was only 39 and left very young children. ( 1864 ) Then her husband Francis died of smallpox 1871. Tatlock Street Liverpool. After his death the house was left empty. I know that their Son Henry who was age 7 in 1864 went on to live with his married  sister Annie ( age 10 in 1864 ) 1871 census, but not after his mothers death.
John Schamburg was age 14 in 1864
Teresa Schamburg age 8 in 1864
Henry age 7 in 1864
Mary age 5 in 1864,
I wonder if the children and father went into workhouse. Very sad times.

Hi Victoria,
The grave is DZ 101. The online index has many errors; D101 belongs to a family named Taafe.
DZ101 is a public grave so the information you have is all there is.
SJ 1941 is also a public grave.
cheers

Ozranga's right after checking Ford index records for two of the surnames in my family that I have DZ was in usage in the 1860s. AD wasn't in use until the 1910s. The private section D was in use from the 1950s onwards. Confusingly there's also a private section DZ used from 1950s onwards.

Hi Victoria,
Blue is quite correct; a public grave can contain dozens of deceased persons, and the chances of family members being interred together are vitually zero, unless they were buried on the same day.
