Graveyards and Gravestones / Witton cemetery, Birmingham - is there a headstone?
« on: Monday 20 February 17 18:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I understand Witton cemetery is enormous and I am not local. 
The cemetery has given me a number, but can't tell me if there is a headstone.

Is there anyone out there who vsits Witton who might be able to locate a grave and see if there is a headstone? 
The details are Section 27 and grave number 60778.  Buried there are Emma Riley 1949 and her husband Frederick, also known as Frank, 1956.

I would be most grateful if anyone visits and might not have to go too far out of their way to look for this grave.

Thank you Shejos

Thank you to all who have replied here, I am very grateful for your thoughts.  Had looked at google maps earlier but couldn't find my 'memories' apart from thinking the Honey Pot looked like my cafe.  Fairwater Court IS about where I remember but of course Google maps street view doesn't go down it.  My suspicion is the house COULD be behind the building on the left hand corner!  Looks hopeful . 
Live in Lancashire so not round the corner, but I will certainly go and look next time I get a trip down south.
Thank you.

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Wroughton

House with a stream running under it?  Elene/twelve years ago I visited Wroughton with my father and we found the house where I was conceived!  Alas did not take a picture.  From memory: we were in the main street, there was a coffee shop on left hand side of road.  Further back on same side there was a smallish driveway leading to offices/some kind of commercial building, somehow I have it in mind it may have been social services/health related - unsure.  As you go up the short drive there is a little house on the left with a tiny stream running underneath it.  Does anyone living in Wroughton recognise this, could identify it for me.  Would be very grateful.

Would be extremely grateful - I'm in Lancashire so not so easy for me.
Thank you very much

I am wanting a photo of a grave which I suspect would be found in the churchyard RC in Woodchester, a Dominican priest named Dominic Sire who died towards the end of 1971 I think.  Is anyone local who could post a photo of this headstone if it exists?

Very grateful

Thank you, this does give a map of cemetery location but not where to find specific plots e.g. section A and section B. 
I was hoping to have some idea of where in the cemetery to start looking as I am not local and will have limited time for a visit.

Does anyone know if there is an online plan of this cemetery.  Have a grave number but don't know the area or lay out of the cemetery.  Many thanks

Thank you Nigelp.  This is immensely helpful and I now see the extent of Cambridge Terrace, much more than I had realised.

So I think I am right in saying that the old Cambridge Terrace would be on the left hand side of the road (today's Sussex Gardens) as you face the Edgware Road?

The person who lived there was only there in 1936 and rented a room so wouldn't be around in 1938.  She writes of it: We went room hunting ... finally we found a really nice room in decent surroundings with breakfast and daily bath, running warm and cold water, relative quiet, good light, clean and decent furnishings with a couch and pull out table for 25 shillings per week...." 
She gives the address as 36 Cambridge Terrace, Cumberland House, London W2

I really apprciate the help you have given me.
