Nottinghamshire Resources & Offers / Info: Nottinighan General Cemetary CD

« on: Friday 11 May 07 23:26 BST (UK) »

Hi

A new CD is out for the General Cemetary in Nottingham from Nottingham Family History Society. Please see link below:

a new CD out today call GENERAL CEMETERY - 23,855 Records
PRICE £21.00 WITH postage and Packing

www.nottsfhs.org.uk

The General Cemetery opened in 1836 with a dissenters' extension added in 1865. However, the Society has recorded the memorial inscriptions (not the burial details), so the earliest date can reliably make out is 1801. The cemetery closed in 1923, with only further burials being allowed in existing graves.

Nottinghamshire / St John the Baptist, Beeston

« on: Thursday 29 March 07 23:47 BST (UK) »

I need a picture of Beeston Parish Church pre 1844. I know there is one in the Peveril Series but do not know how to get a copy. Is there one on the web?

We are about to carry out major modernisation work in the church and a picture before the modernisation in 1844 would be very helpful on our display board. There is a picture in the Last Post pub of the church pre 1844 Peveril Series but I do not know how to obtain a copy apart from approaching the pub to borrow theirs. Can you help please?

If you need any information on Beeston Parish Church (St John the Baptist) please contact me.
