Paul and Blackburn Fossil,you mention F section,my grandparents and uncle are buried F474which is the Non Conformist section.
There is no headstone but a large grave behind theirs ,literally backing on to it has a little girl , named "Little Maggie" buried .
I know how many places down the grave was, although unmarked,because of the little girl`s grave. I would expect the headstone will now be fallen over or removed,sadly.
It took my grandfather,so poor were they, two years to pay for my grandmother`s funeral in 1916.
It cost a little over £6-00.
My dad at 19 was just off to the front when she died.
They never afforded a stone or even an urn.
I keep meaning to go back but it is not always a good place to be.
The last time,some years ago,I visited a grave behind the office,the whole area was littered with syringes and what looked like a dog that had been torn to pieces.
I`ve not been since.It used to be a lovely afternoon walk and then along the main path to cross the bridge over the Medlock to the park where the tulip beds were,such a sight on Tulip Sunday.
Thousands of visitors went.
All gone now.
Viktoria.
