Afternoon all
Yesterday afternoon I had a really interesting ramble in St Mary's churchyard.
There are some fascinating old graves including some WWI headstones and a row of graves relating to the Pretoria Pit victims. It was very sad though to see how overgrown the grass was and some broken and leaning headstones.
I believe my ggg grandfather is buried at St Mary's and wondered if anyone had successfully found any family graves there and could give me some tips.
I'm assuming that I'll have to check the MIs for St Mary's to find the grave number but it's such a large area I'm hoping I'll get lucky & there is a gravestone.
best wishes
