Googling St Marks Lane, Cheetham Hill then going onto streetview shows a derelict cemetery on the south side of the road with a few monuments standing and lots of slabs lying down.  Whether this has changed since the streetview cameras were there I don't know.

Hello

Some of my ancestors are buried at St Mark's. Several years ago (5?) my brother and I went to have a look. There was no access, there was a fence all around. However we were able to squeeze through a hole in the fence.

It was very disappointing. We were lucky my ancestors grave was one of those remaining above ground, we spotted it after a fruitless half hour lookin looking at slabs laid down. If you are looking for one of those it would be very difficult, the slabs were covered in overgrowth and rubbish.

Someone on here posted a link to images of Lancashire and Cheshire parish registers. St Mark's were there. I think the link was to part of familysearch but I don't know how to get there.

Thanks for the information.  If my ancestors have a gravestone  I suspect it will be one the ones that is lying down.  Next time I'm in the UK I intend to go and have a look.

Hi,

We visited St Mark's not so long ago,(last month) and got a few photo's taken.

I have put together my own index of names for the Monumental inscriptions for this graveyard.  (and have a few photo's of stones)

It is a Great Graveyard lots of old stones many from the late 1700's.
There is some vandalism and some are sprayed with graffiti.

Pm the details and I take a look for you.

Cancan :)
