The Lighter Side / Re: were my ancestors just tight or skint!!

thats a lovely idea,i think i may whisper sweet nothings to the parks and cemetaries lady and see if she could supply a map of the cemetary.
there were only a few graves that had plot numbers and i should have been able to work out where they were buried but sadly not,i found 100-500 markers easily,but mine were 800!!
maybe she gave me the name of the wrong cemetary??

if they are there i would love to put a marker on their graves.

i finally tracked down the burial plots of my gt gt grandparents, and my gt grandmother,the council lady was brilliant,gave me the plot numbers and named a 4 more people that were family members that were buried either together or in seperate graves.

all in all i had the plot numbers of 5 graves,BINGO i thought,
so armed with my flip flops (i didnt think that through very well! ;D) a camera and a big note book off i went to the cemetary.

3 hours and 2 very filthy feet later i found .......NOTHING!!!!

i can only presume that my ancestors didnt bother with a headstone,for anyone,the earliest that any of them died was 1914 and its not a big cemetary.

so infuriating i have done so much work on them that the least they could do would be to make my job just an ounce easier and stick a stone up for me to read lol.

anyway i had to get that off my chest ;D
