This is very interesting stuff.
I think it was Curly who mentioned a list of 'flats' -does anyone have a reference to this list please?

Thanks Ian

Additionally, I would like to know if anybody can direct me to someone or somewhere I can obtain a reasonably priced photograph/s of the grave/s stone/s to enable it/them to be sent to me in Australia.

Hi John -

Have you checked out http://www.gravestonephotos.com/?  The website contains a collection of photographs of tombstones from across the world (though the majority are in the UK).  Just search under a surname and request a free image of the monument for the relevant person.

The photographs are taken by volunteers and if the cemetery you want has not yet been covered, you can leave a request.  New volunteers are more than welcome!

Thank you very much for that. I am just about to try for more family history information mainly Cheshire and Lancashire. I am not sure of some of the specific cemeteries in the towns/cities but I will certainly follow up to look at that site.
