Anyone going to Crewe Cemetery?
« on: Wednesday 15 July 09 20:59 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking for a photo of my relative's grave. I know he is in Crewe Cemetery in plot 7178B.

William Edward Grainger d 1925 and Margaret (his wife) d 1935

If anyone lives near or is visiting and could take a photo for me, I would be very grateful.

Thanks

I visit the cemetery nearly every week - will have a look next time I am there - but my plan does not show a 7178B - may have to check in the office.

Attached photo of grave as promised.
Inscription reads:
William Edward, beloved husband of Margaret Grainger,
of Sunny Bank, West Street, Crewe
who fell asleep August 3rd 1925, aged 66

Also Gladys, their beloved child,
who died in infancy

Also Margaret
who died August 14th 1935, aged 77

I have also taken some close-ups of the base - if you give me your email address I will send them to you.

The Cemetery Office, Crewe:
Email:  bereavement2@cheshireeast.gov.uk

You could of course also put some names on this website - might ring a bell with somebody.

Thanks for that Peter,

Perhaps you are right someone here could possibly help -  there is only one person.

She is
Doris Weaver died July 1953  and was aged only 30.
 
I believe there could be a tombstone with information about her parents.  Any help would be much appreciated,

Regards,
Abiam

I have just rechecked and the Cheshire East official website gives two different email addressses for the Cemetery Office, Crewe - you may need to try them both.

1)  bereavement2@cheshireeast.gov.uk

2)  bereavementservices2@cheshireeast.gov.uk

If these fail the address of the Crewe Cemetery Office is Market Close, Crewe and the telephone number is 01270 212643.

If I get a chance I will have a look for you next time I am there.
