Post by: dobbie on Wednesday 13 August 14 14:04 BST (UK)
Hi all, my first time here I am trying to locate my father's grave I know the section z and the plot number 1670
But cannot locate it , as they seem to be no logic to the order of the graves , is there a plot map of the graves about or a map any help would be gratefully accepted his details are george lancashire died 1971 last quarter section z number 1670 , regards John.

Hi Dobbie - welcome to rootschat!

It rather seems as if you have landed here in the middle of a conversation you were having, so I think we need a few more details first! 

Which part of the world are we in, and do you know the name of the cemetery?

Hi,

There's a death registered in Leeds that fits the details given in OP.  Is this him?

hi really new to this , I am in leeds and my father is in the
Harehills Cemetery
Kimberley Rd Leeds LS9 6LZ
his details are George Lancashire born 1906 died 1971 (last quarter) he is in section z plot 1670 .
I have located 1671 but then goes to 1683 , there is no headstone so I am really looking at a plot were it should be but cant make any sense of the plot numbers as they all seem mixed up , regards john .

This might help from the Leeds.gov.uk website:

How can I locate a particular grave?

Contact the Administration Office at Lawnswood. Telephone 0113 3957446 or by e mail at parks@leeds.gov.uk to make an appointment for a member of staff to meet you at the Cemetery to show you the location of the grave.
