Yardley Cemetery ,Birmingham
« on: Monday 19 September 11 18:59 BST (UK) »
Hi,
      Does anyone know if there is a burial plot finder for Yardley Cemetery ? Or if the Cemetery has a web site . I would like to locate the graves of my Grandparents Charlotte and Henry Pole. He died in 1958 and she died in 1945. They were buried in a family grave with 2 of their children.

Hope someone can help.

Regards

Yvon

Hi Yvon

This might help

http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellite/cemeteries%20and%20crematoria%20introduction?packedargs=website%3D4&rendermode=live

I phoned Yardley about 12 months ago and they were very helpful.

It's a really busy cemetery so you'll need to tell them the full names and exact dates of death.

Hi molly,

      Thank you very much for the kind offer. I hope to be able to go there myself  in a couple of weeks time. If I don't manage to get there then I would love to take you up on your offer.

I have got in touch with Yardley Cemetery via email and they very kindly sent me the plot number, area location and also a map.

Thanks again.

Yvon
