Manor Road cemetery, Scarborough - a plea! COMPLETED, THANKS!

[BassinghamTerrier]

Hi!

Do any of the board members live in Scarborough? If so, I have a request ...

I am an exiled Scarborian who may get back in the summer to do a bit of digging - not literally of course! - but won't have the opportunity beforehand. My mother tells me that her grandfather and grandmother are buried together in Dean Road Cemetery, and I would love to have a photograph of the headstone, together with the details thereon; there is some doubt over the actual birthdate of the grandmother, and this might just clear it up.

Mum has said that she would go herself with her digital camera, but apparently the place is now awash with smackheads and other ne'er-do-wells, so she daren't go on her own. 

Anyway, if anyone can oblige, the details that you will need are as follows ...

GEORGE EDWARD BIRD
born 1870, June quarter, Patrington, volume 9d page 250
died 1923,  aged 52, March quarter, Scarborough, volume 9d page 435

ELIZA BIRD (nee MOOR)
Eliza MOORE (wrong spelling, right age) born 1872 September quarter, Malton, volume 9d page 351
OR ...
Eliza MOOR (right spelling, wrong age) born 1871 September quarter, Malton, volume 9d page 351
died 1953, aged 81, December quarter, Scarborough, volume 1b page 772

Big confusion as you can see! Ancestry AND FreeBMD throw up the same references for both Eliza Moor(e)s, namely volume 9d page 351, but there is only ONE entry, that being for the 1872 birth, with an incorrect 'e' on the end. They can't BOTH be right!!! I KNOW that she was a Moor and not Moore as my grandfather always made a point of flagging that up whenever people asked aboutr his mother.

Sorry, but I can't give any help as to exactly WHERE they are buried. Could be a long afternoon for someone ... 

Many thanks in anticipation,

Roger

I live in whitby and the last time I was at the crem they were typing up Dean road burials onto the computer you`ll need a grave number first if someone is going to look for you best ring them first and get grave number.

Thanks so much Ticker and Louise!

I tried ringing today, but I don't think there was anybody there.

Not alive, anyway ...

If you DO manage to get a photo, please pm me and I'll provide you with an email addy.

Roger

EDIT

Please note I got the forenames of my g-grandfather the wrong way around in the original post, but have now corrected them.
It IS George Edward Bird.

[BassinghamTerrier]

OK - got through to Woodlands Crem, and received the following information ...

section L
21-6
Manor Road
George Edward Bird (aged 52)
Eliza Bird (aged 81)
John Redmond Birg (aged 2)

... all in the same plot.

The first two are as expected, but the last one is a shocker! I know nothing about this chap, and I'd guess that it should be BIRD nor Birg.

EDIT
Have spoken to mum, and it appears that John Redmond BERG was an adopted child of George and Eliza's lodger, Peter Redmond.

However, I REALLY need to see a photo of this MI please!!!
