Cemetry Lookup Please
« on: Wednesday 14 June 06 10:30 BST (UK) »
hI everyone,i know its a long shot,but does anyone on here live near stoney creek municipal cemetery,wentworth,saltfleet.
My greatuncle is believed to have emigrated to Canada (i live in the UK) and there is a grave there that seems to match and i wondered if there was someone who could look at the grave for me.
The name is Walter James Coombes at the above cemetery REF:HM-327
I know its a long shot but i hope there is some one who could help.

do you know if this cemetery goes by any other names or better yet do you have the address, I am trying to find a map of where it is to see it I can get there or not and can't seem to find it, you would think a municipal cemetery wound show up on a map as they are usually larger than most private ones.

This website says it is at 2876 King St., Hamilton

http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/interloan/cem_wentworth.htm

From this Google maps page, it is a wooded area, but I can't tell if it is a cemetery or not:

it can't be hamilton if it is stoney creek municipal cemetery, and I can't remember if stoney creek has both king E and king W I know that Hamilton does as I used to live on King St E. I am going to take a look around and make sure that we have got the right king street here first. Too bad it wasn't EastLawn we were looking for, I just moved right next to that one.

maybe I am just not seeing it but looking on the archives link for the local cemeteries, I just can't see stoney creek municipal cemetery listed on it in saltfleet township or otherwise.

according to the google map I don't live all that far from there. I am not going to make any promises but if I have the time this weekend, providing it isn't as hot as it has been the last few days, I heard it was nearly 50C again today, and check out where this cemetery is supposed to be. If that is the municipal cemetery then it is pretty small at present, unless the bare land behind the forrest is land included for future use for the growth of the cemetery. Stoney creek isn't as small as it used to be, so who knows.
