Gorton Cemetary

Hi all,

Does anyone live near Gorton Cemetery?

If so would you mind taking a trip there. I'm a little bit confused about my G. Grandfathers grave. He has 2 other people buried with him and I can't tie them in to my family tree.

The grave no. is Bnoncon 319 and is for Henry Albert Hakesley b. 1861, d.1851, buried 7/2/1951.

The burial record states a Robert Henry Hakesley and an Emma Hakesley are interred with him. I need to know if there are any details about them.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Hello Alison
Sorry to disappoint you but no headstone at the location of the grave . A great many have been laid down and some cleared by the health and safety people , also to help maintain the cemetery .
I am sure you have checked free BMD but just in case they have Robert Henry as 31 yrs and Emma as 77 yrs .
Hope you find out who they are.
Regards
Eric

I'd appreciate anyone visiting Gorton Cemetery to locate the following individuals:

John Holt (husband)
B: 1878 Clayton Droylsden, Lancashire, England 
D: possibly Apr 1920 Gorton, Lancashire, England

Martha Ann Holt (wife - maiden name Unwin)
B: 1883 Gorton, Lancashire, , England 
D: possibly 1942 Gorton, Lancashire, , England

Any of John's brothers:
George Holt (b.1883-)
William Holt (b.1890-)
Robert Holt (b.1894-)
Arthur Holt (b.1896-)
 
Or his children:
Sarah Ann Holt (b.1903) in Gorton, Lancashire, England who married a William Eric Stanley and is definitely buried there.
Robert (b.1904) in Gorton, Manchester, Lancashire, England he never married and again is buried there.

Harold Holt (b.1916) in Chorlton, Lancashire

I have no chance of visiting Gorton and know all of the family lived and died in the area...

Thanks

Hi all,

With Migkys help, I have now worked out that Emma was Henry's sister-in-law. Her husband Robert is buried in Philips Park!! Also, Migkey found some info. on Robert Henry, unfortunately, I'm still not sure how he ties in to my family. I guess I will have to order his death certificate. Thank you Migkey.   

Again, thanks to Eric, sorry it was not a successful journey. However, I have written to Gorton Cemetery to find out if anyone has kept a record of removed gravestones. So fingers crossed. If I get any further with this I will let you know.

Thanks to all
