Rippleside Cemetery Barking Essex - COMPLETED -

Only with a lot of help from the staff at the Cemetery, they really did put themselves out to help!

One last question if I may please, Ray, then I'm done...

...was there a memorial on LI 70?

I ask because I spent over an hour searching for LI 70 about a week before your visit, and could not find any sign of it. Sadly, many of the graves in that section have been left to deteriorate and fall into disrepair, making it extremely difficult to map the layout of the section. TT 131 was a breeze, lying as it does, reasonably close to the path - I located that one immediately.

I live almost thirty miles away from Rippleside Cemetery, and given that I put in a fair amount of effort hunting for these plots and setting up access to the images I acquired, it would be nice to know the eventual outcome.

With thanks,

Peter.

Found it, but with difficulty and only after help from the staff. It did have a memorial; book laying flat on the surface.

Taking the top of the map being north, you need to go as far north as possible in section L, then go to the path that separates sections L & X.

The plot is next to the path and is the first marked plot [from the north] under a spreading fir tree.

I must admit I missed it first time probably due to debris from the tree.

Thanks for letting me know, Ray. Much appreciated.

Hello budgie450,

As you may have become aware from the posts lodged by both Peter & Ray, the graves in question have both been successfully located and photographed.

Thank you very much for your kind offer to assist. It is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Michael

Hi,
I am trying to track down some relatives here as well and was interested in downloading the map that was attached, but keep getting an error that I am not allowed.  Not sure why as I can't find anything in the FAQ.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Rob

Hi

Welcome to Rootschat


Difficult for me to tell as a moderator because it opens for me when I click on the attachment, but it may be because this topic is now on the completed board for Essex or because as a new poster you have yet to gain all the privileges such as personal messaging on Rootschat you get after three posts.
If all else fails try printscreen and paste into a programme like Word or Publisher and crop.

Thanks - so if I have 3 posts, that might solve the issue?  I noticed I was unable to post in the help forum as well, so wonder if that's related.

Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob


You made two now so only one to go. I don't know whether that is the correct answer. If you post again you can test out the hypothesis.
