Egremont Cemetery

[ayemas]

Hi,
Wondering if someone with a camera could take a couple of picture for me in Egremont cemetery.
The first is for Section F, Con,  Grave Number 71, it has a headstone for  Mary Shepherd.
The second one is in Section H, Con, Grave Number 366, I have no idea if there is a headstone, the name is Charles Shepherd.
Than you.
Ayemas. (Australia)

I hope it wasn't too cold or wet for you.

Hi Ayemas,

Your very welcome.  Have the cemetery records for Egremont which have a few details on them.
In the area at the moment and have a vague idea where abouts the grave is - fingers crossed we can get the photograph or you. (Hoping it is still standing)

Hi Ayemas,

Found a headstone for Shepherd - this looks like Section F Con 63 rather than F Con 71.
If it is F Con 63 then F Con 71 does not exist anymore - there are numerous blank spaces.
Elizabeth, the wife of Thomas Shepherd is also buried in F Con 63 - buried 8 th June 1918 from 17 Montreal Street. Cleator Moor.

Checked the son Miles Shepherd and his wife Sarah Harrison but they are not buried at Egremont.
The probate for Miles in 1915 stated they were living at 3 Office Cottages. Bigrigg (probate granted to Charles Shepherd and Benjamin Martindale (joiner)) and for Sarah who died 1937, she was living at 37 Crossfield Road. Cleator Moor (probate granted to Charles Shepherd) - so perhaps they could be buried at St John's. Cleator Moor

Hello Sandra,
                      I have a query regarding buriels at Egremont.
  I have that Margaret Cameron  died 28 Sept 1817 aged 62, is buried at St Mary"s Egremont.
 Several children are also buried there but I have not been able to find any information for the death of her husband Edward. I don't think that he is named on her headstone.
   They had 5 children with the last Hannah baptised 16 Jan 1799.
   I suspect that Edward may have died about 1800 ( the family of 5 being smaller than could be expected for the time.)
   If you can supply any clues to his death it would be very helpfull.

Hi Wyanga,

This particular Egremont Cemetery opened in August 1864 so unfortunately neither Edward or Margaret would be buried there. 
The Parish Church of Egremont - St Mary and St Michael is the original site of two chapels/churches of St Mary and St Michael - demolished then rebuilt 1884. Stands in own church grounds but over the years the area around the Church has been laid with tarmac so there are fewer headstones to see.
