Hi Patricia,
I've just been looking at the General Cemetery cd and note the infomation regarding Ellen and William John's grave - it is a bit confusing isn't it!
Just wondering where you got the information about the gave number, etc? Unfortunately the cd doesn't give any information as to where the grave is, and that means it's going to be very difficult to locate. It also doesn't help that the cemetery office use a completely different system of describing to locate the grave
and are the ,marking system in the cemetery is not easy.
I went there last autumn to try to locate a grave for a rootschatter, and rang the cemetery for help to locate it, but the information was so confusing it took me hours to try to find it - I gave up in the end. Fortunately I found the name on the cd, and the map used by the makers of the cd, and on my second visit found it quite easily.
However, as I said there is nothing on the cd to say which part of the cemetery this one is in; and that's going to make it a mammoth task
I can appreciate how difficult it will be for you to get there yourself, from South Wales. I don't live in Notts anymore, but
may be going later in the month, but without an idea of where it is I don't know if I can help. Sorry!
The cemetery office have been having problems recently - a member of staff left, whether they are back on track now I don't know.
Here are the contact details for Annette:
www.rootschat.com/links/05zcIf you can get them to send you a map of where the grave is and put a map on the thread that would help someone locate the grave easily (the map is copyright, but if you don't post a full size map, and just show the part of the cemetery where the grave is, this should be ok)
Sorry I can't be more positive at this stage.
Good luck.
