Reading through this thread, I'm not sure if this link will help anyone in the future but it might, but is it the ward plans for Mere Knolls Cemetery.

This is the Ward Plan for Mere Knolls Cemetery http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=2179. The original cemetery, where he would be buried, is the part at the bottom where the Mortuary Chapels are, as can be seen on the map at http://maps.nls.uk/view/101099513#zoom=5&lat=2491&lon=7118&layers=BT An further 14 acres were purchased for the western extension to the original in 1886, which was opened in 1889.

Mark - I have just joined RootsChat and have just seen your posting.  I can probably do this for you in the next few days if you are still wanting a photo.

Hi Alan,
I was wondering where your Stobbs and Watson's are from?

Kindest Regards

Ah right. I knew a Stobbs family in Easington Colliery and my husband is a Watson but from Houghton, his ancestors are from Sunderand
