There is an excellent article in the Staffordshire Sentinel dated 9th March 1922, that should answer all your questions: I'll PM you the details.

Could anyone help me with finding the cemetery, where my ancestors could be buried.
The family name would be Spargo.

Kevin the family are buried at St Andrews Church, Bebington. (As previous posts)

They are buried in Section D No. 302.  The headstone was removed in 1968.

In the plot are:
John Spargo, Ann Spargo, Cyril Edmund Spargo, John Thomas Spargo, Elizabeth Spargo & Alfred Spargo.
Hope that helps.

Michael Sheen, I would like to see him appear WDYTYA.

Michael's ancestry was covered by "Coming Home" a much more polished show for the family historian.

I should add Samuel is described as a Mariner (ties in with Tranmere) on the marriage entry & it was by Banns.
{This record was provided by Liverpool and South West Lancashire Family History Society in Index form only}

Samuel was buried at St. Andrews Bebington on the 8th March 1812 {described as of Tranmere}.

A probable marriage for Samuel could be 1st January 1788, Liverpool, St Anne Richmond, to Gaynor Highcock.
A Gainer Foulks [sic] is buried in Bebington St. Andrews on the 13th September 1808 described the wife of Samuel Foulks of Tranmere.
Hope that's a point in the right direction for further research.
