Hi Girl Guide, yes I thought I would go back to Wirral Archives and see what I can find.
The reinternment was a big deal in the area at the time as the remains of 5,500 people were involved. They are all reinterned in a specific St Mary's area of Landican. The records that were shown to me at Landican do look VERY basic so I'm not too optimistic. Searching the web regarding the basics of the reinternment leads to think that as the remains were recovered they were placed in a new coffin in plot order and reburied the same way, so that is the route I am taking and will look as to whom was buried with whom and try and solve the problem that way!.
