Hi all, I have traced back to find that I have a grandfather and a great grandfather buried in Rycroft cemetery Walsall, I have details of the sections and grave numbers were they are buried but its impossible to locate the graves from these details as few graves have numbers. I have spoke to Walsall bereavement services who emailed me a plan of the cemetery showing the sections only but what I need is a plan of grave numbers, information that they tell me they don't give out. I have also visited the local history centre who have very little info on grave locations, they have a couple of A4 sheets that have been given to them by people that have somehow managed to obtain these details. Would any one have a grave plan of sections 48 and 49 that I could have a look at please. Walsall bereavement services did suggest that if I visited the cemetery during the week someone may be there working who could show me the grave, unfortunately during the week I'm 55 miles away working so can only get there during a weekend. I have the same problem a couple of weeks ago I traveled to Coventry in an attempt to find my other grandfathers grave in the London Road cemetery, first I visited the Coventry history centre and paid for a photocopy of a grave plan only to find that due to the sheer size of the cemetery the plan was near to useless it again was impossible to pin point the location without seeing more of the plan and by this time the history centre was closed. My point to all this is why on earth don't cemetery's mount a grave plan within the cemetery so that people trying to locate a grave have half a chance of finding it, perhaps that's to simple..
