Hi All

I am also very new to this site(great site by the way. greater still in that it is free)

Well I come from Manchester and most of my family are buried in Southern (buried a sister there just last year)

However I now live in Birmingham, but I do visit Manchester (network rail permitting) on a regular basis so would be able to assist in this project, with plenty of advance notice  to arranging TOIL at work.

Having said all that I don't have a clue what this entails but I am a willing pupil, oh and I own two digital cameras.

More than happy to volunteer my time.

It is  great news that these records will be made available. I have been hoping they would for some time.  I am  interested in knowing the answer to  Skippy's question posted Sept 17th.  which was:

"Will the project be able to gain access to burial records in order to correlate
info in respect of inscripted and unmarked plots"

 I have some ancestors  there that were too poor to have headstones.

 Also, there are the cremation records. Perhaps some people would like to be able to have that information.

I would like to help transcribe but I live overseas. If the records were going to be scanned, I could help, as I have transcribed that way for the Free BMD.

Has the transcribing begun? Will this information be available to all. I'm in Canada, but if you can think of a way for me to help in project - by all means let me know.

I'd love to help, but it might be a bit tricky from France! (I rambled a long way...)  Do you have any dates fixed?  If it's during school holidays I might be able to arange something, because it sounds a super project.

Failing that, could some kind person please go to the non-conformist part of the cemetery, Section L, No.1014, where Helen James is buried, and ask her (loudly!) whether she really married granddad's father, and if so, where, when, and what name she was using at the time!!! >:(

sorry i haven't read all the posts here but I have done some grave recording before and it's a lot easier to use a dictating machine rather than photographing monuments.

There is a group called Cemsearch who do cemetery transcribing. Might be worth finding out if they have already done the Southern Cemetery.
