Saint Augustine's Churchyard in Pendlebury
« on: Wednesday 11 October 17 17:48 BST (UK) »
Does anyone live near Saint Augustine's Churchyard in Pendlebury, and would you mind taking a couple of gravestone photos? Unfortunately, I don't know the plot number. I learned that the 1st wife of my 3rd great-uncle was buried there. Her name was Sarah Jane Griffith (Mrs. Robert Robinson Heap). Sarah died on Feb. 5 or 6, 1903. Also, I'd love to know if her husband and children were buried there. The children's names were Amy, Carrie, Robert Percy, and Kenneth Heap:

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure, but I've had luck finding churchyard gravestones for other relatives and ancestors in the UK. It looks as though a fair amount of gravestones still exist at St. Augustine's, so I'm hopeful.

It may be a good idea to contact the church as you really need a location of the grave if you want someone to photograph it for you.  Is that findagave link added by you or by someone who has seen the plot  :-\

Hi rosie99 and BumbleB:

Many thanks for your help! I'll try contacting the church, and I'll post Sarah Griffith Heap's death notice on her "Find A Grave" page. I've done as much research as I can on my Heap ancestors, so now I'm concentrating on my Heap relatives and their spouses.

Best regards,
Richard
