Title: Higginson
Post by: X24Ldingle on Thursday 18 August 16 14:38 BST (UK)

I have searched the graveyards in Buckley to try to find where any of my relatives are buried. I have looked in Bistre Emanuel, St Matthews , Congregational and Buckley Public cemetery  (Elfed).
Are there any other cemeteries in Buckley (possibly near Spon Green). I am trying to find Bessie Higginson, Winifred Higginson and Robert Tomlinson Higginson. Any help or information appreciated

Hi

It would depend when they died.

Also, Flintshire County Council hold cemetery records that you can view by appointment:

This links to Bistre info but is the contact for all.

Have you thought of looking for obituaries, if you have no luck.

Also. MI`s have been published by the Clwyd FHS and probably will be at Hawarden .
If they have headstones then they are likely to be in there.
