Mere Knolls Cemetery - John Hays Berry

[37christine]

Is it possible that someone could check a grave in Mere Knolls Cemetery which is for John Hays Berry who died in 1880?  He is buried in plot 2519.   I would like to know anything that is written on the gravestone please.
Thank you
Christine

Thanks for your message Barbara.
Yes I do have this info.   I would like to know what is on the headstone to see what it says.  Especially about the parents.
Are you connected to the Berry's?

No not related, just thought the information might be helpful

Christine - do you know the Ward Number for this grave?

I am afraid I was not given a ward from Sunderland Library.   I will email them and ask them for this and get back to you.
Thank you for your reply.
Best wishes

Christine - Sundeland Local Studies may have given you all the information that they have.  The Monkwearmouth & Southwick Burial Board used grave numbers only, ward numbers were introduced in later years.

I have heard back from them and there is no Ward or Section mentioned. However, they assume that it will probably be in Ward 1 or 2.

Does this help any?

Thanks

Best Wishes
