Cheshire / St Mary's Churchyard, Birkenhead - Reburial Records
« on: Thursday 25 January 18 14:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi , Can any one help?.
There was a family ancestor buried in St Mary's Churchyard, Birkenhead in 1916. In, approximately, 1957 the churchyard was sold to Cammell Lairds, Shipbuilders for the building of a dry dock. The remains (some 5,500 people, were reinterred in Landican Cemetery. Wirral Archives confirm the the person concerned, Hilda Humphreys (age 1) was indeed reinterred at Landican. At a visit to Landican today they say they have no record of the person as they only have a record of the first person buried in each grave. I think that there must be a record of who is buried where, can anyone point me in the right direction to look
