Hello can anyone please tell me the word at the very top of the grave stone "In ? Remembrance of " it could just be my eyesight but I cannot make it out.
Also after Matthew Cowley's name and some others seems to be the number 1 is that a Comma or does it mean something else. Thank you for your help.

Lancashire / Weaste Cemetary map help & abreviation?
« on: Thursday 17 June 10 13:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone

I have just found out where my Great Great Grandfather is Buried in Weaste Cemetery.
this is the information they gave me at age croft.
Plot 33 ,Grave number 1197.
Buried 27th sept 1905 burial number 210755

Here is a link to a PDF file of the cemetery can anyone who has been there or can understand it help me? am I right in thinking he is in the section that says Diss 33?  and does this mean its disused and probably nothing really to see ie grave stones?

Only I don't live in the area and, as I am disabled hubby has volunteered to visit for me.
 Oops sorry forgot to put the link its http://www.salford.gov.uk/weastecemetery.htm
Thank you so much for your help  :)
Best wishes Rose

Lancashire / Two Kirkwood Brick walls
« on: Monday 10 December 07 11:19 GMT (UK)  »
HI I hope for some ideas about two problems I have within the family I am researching. One is James  KIRKWOOD born in Scotland circa 1806? He died in 1865.

The Kirkwood family lived in Chorlton upon medlock. I have James in 1841,1851, and 1861 Census he was a Weaver, my problem is I cannot find out who his Parents where because I have no Idea where in Scotland he was born! Does any one have any ideas or should this be the end of the line:(


I would love to find out what happened to John Gilbody Kirkwood the Grandson of the same family Born 1873 Chorlton, Hulme .
 
His Mother Mary died in 1875  and I believe the Father also called James Died in 1879 in Chorlton Workhouse .

I cannot find John Kirkwood  in any census!

He did Marry a Fanny Cowley in 1898 in Salford, in the 1901 Census she is living with her Parents I believe he served in the Boar War which would explain his absence in that census but not in the 1881, and 1891.

Any help would be appreciated, I can only use the Internet because of Ill health thank you.  :)
