Hedon Road Cemetery Hull

[Billington63]

Hi

428 is the 2nd compartment in from the edge and the 3rd (of 6 ) along the side.

You should be able to go straight there.

Hi Brian

these are the people you should contact

I had a quick look earlier - it does not look like there is a stone at Hedon Road but you can nevr be certain when just looking.

I think the image I am sending shows the approximate location - you will see there is quite a bit of space - some of which will be unmarked graves.

Best wishes
Dan

hello, can you help me please?  I am looking for compartment 83, grave  78, name Strachan, and wondering where to start in Hedon Road cemetary?   thank you.

Compartment 83 should be quite easy to locate.
Go in the main gates , keep the lodge on the right and go straight down the main route
When you come to where the paths cross over the route -  you will have compartment 84.our left
Looking back to Hedon road , you should be able to dived the space from the furthest edge of the cemetery into  8, each one is the width of a compartment.
Walk into compartment 84 –  ( in the directions of the city centre) the equal distance of what you assess to be one compartment.
You should arrive in 83,
If your ancestors has a stone that remains you should find it. If not you need the help of the council.
You can get a map from the History centre. I have marked it on the image attached
You’ll need to guestimate a grid in the compartment area normally about 10 by 10  ( 100 graves might be more/less)
Good luck
Dan

thank you so  much.    hoping to go there this afternoon.   there was a headstone which my grandfather paid to have restored in 1957 ..... so maybe it will still be there.   first burial was 1879, Louisa Strachan ...

many many thanks.

Hello 

Please can you tell me whether I have to visit the Bereavement services  in Hull to get the plot number for my great-granfather or will they tell me in a letter.  I am down in Norfolk and want to try and find the plot once I know the number, later this summer.

I am looking for Frederick Ernest SLATER who died on 15 September 1915 and was buried in Hedon Road Cemetery, Hull.  He was born 14 August 1859 in Stourbridge, Worcestershire.

He died at 141 Anlaby Road, Hull, Yorkshire.  His daughter Alice May Slater registered his death.

Many thanks for any help that you can give.
