Title: Locate a Grave: Hedon Road Cemetery
Post by: Anthony Beacock on Thursday 21 July 16 15:01 BST (UK)
Hi everyone!

Could anyone help me locate where the grave "13-93" is in the Hedon Road Cemtery please?

I haven't found a way of finding where abouts the graves are if you only have a plot number.

Thank you very much,
Tony.

Have you contacted the local council to ask if a plan of the cemetery is available?

Hi gogogadgetlegs!

Thank you very much for your help! That means that there is unfortunately no headstone which is a shame. I know for definite that they were buried there.

Where abouts would the plot be? Could you take a picture of the map inside your book please?

Thanks,
Tony.

Hi, Sadly it does not show any places for unmarked graves, this is why i looked for the actual Monumental Inscroption, which i could then send you a rough idea where the fgrave would be situated.

Hi Tony,

The Hull History Centre has, on microfilm, the burial registers of Hedon Road Cemetery. From there you will be able to find the location of the grave. The centre also has copies of the maps of plots on the microfilms.

Also, contact the Breavements Service of the council. My great grandparents are buried in an unmarked grave n the same cemetery, I contacted the service and the warden of the cemetery met me and showed me where the grave is.

Hope this helps

Ian

No unfortunatly, East Riding Family History society who printed the books only gave inscriptions from actual gavestones.

Hi everyone!

Not a problem, yes I live in Hedon anyway so it will be easy to meet with someone there! I'll let you know if I get sorted.

Thanks for your help!

Hi there!

We know two people who are interred at Hedon Road, and just wondered if anyone has come across their graves at all? The details we have are as follows :-

Florence Edith Cook, b 12 Dec 1866, d 5 Dec 1949, buried on 10 Dec 1949
Henry James Cook, b 18 Oct 1869, d 25 Dec 1950, buried on 30 Dec 1950

Gogogadgetlegs, I don't know if you are able to help with what you have in your monumental inscriptions at all?

Many thanks in advance to you all!

Have a look at the facebook group Cemeteries, Graveyards and Burial Grounds of Hull. The group are very friendly and helpful
