This is a long shot query in the hope that someone can remember....
Several years ago SKS sent me a plan of the Bishopwearmouth Cemetery in Sunderland plus a photograph of the headstone of my grandfather's (Thomas GRUNNAH) grave.
Sadly, I have mislaid everything and would be very grateful if I could be put in touch again with that person.
Thank you.

Well it certainly says that, but the year is wrong! Eleanor was buried 19 March 1901. Spinster, age 21 years.

jonw65, many thanks for that information and I did know that Eleanor Grunnah had been buried earlier in that plot on 19 March 1901.
A few years ago I spent two very wet days trying to find the shared plot with the correct details but to no avail, sadly.
Nothing to do with Bishopwearmouth Cemetery but can one get access to a list of graves in other cemeteries? Why I ask is that my adoptive grandfather is buried in Charlton Cemetery in London and I have a feeling many others of his family are buried there too.

Hi
There are cemetery records online in all sorts of places.
Charlton Cemetery seems to be on deceased online, along with others in Greenwich. Unlike FamilySearch it is a pay site. There is a free index, but nowadays, unless you have credits, they do not give the exact cemetery (i.e. for Charlton Cemetery it will just say Greenwich)
