Egremont Cemetery

[*Sandra*]

In 1990 there was a by pass built at Egremont. The new road looks as if it is also called North Road. 63 North Road is a row of terraced houses inside that new road. The Cemetery is on the right hand side of the new by pass as you exit Egremont towards Whitehaven on the A595.
I have some Cemetery photographs which I will take a look through to see if any are of the headstones of the Hodgson Family. Will get back to you on that.

There are lots more Hodgson buried in the cemetery.

Well it looks like you have my entire family tree in there. Are you interested in more names if you have time? I would love to know more about who is in there as my family all lived so close to one another. Let me know if you would like a list

I don't want to burden you if you have other obligations.

Will be delighted to help. Let me have the names.

Sandra you are a dear! The Australasia record I have already which made me wonder why Moses Hodgson (we have 5 in the family)( husband of Ann whom you have found) did not return from Africa with his wife and sons. This led me to believe he is buried in SA as he was a gold and copper miner there. I will make a small list of names for those we cannot find due to the name similarity in the death indexes. There are too many to order documents for so cemetery is my only ally at the moment to close the gap. Will be back with the tougher ones to see if you can find them there. I cannot thank you enough and you are too kind!
