Hi TraceyAustin

I take it is St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, Moston Lane, Manchester you are talking about?
Due to work  I cant get to the cemetery office for you but you can try ringing them on
0161 681 1582 you will need to give them names and dates. If you can get a grave location I will call up one weekend with trusty camera in hand.
Please let me know how you get on.

Regards
Ken

Hi TraceyAustin

As promised, You are so lucky I have found all 3 graves. 2 are in paupers graves but the most amazing thing is the wooden cross is still in place protected by a tree.

Please PM me with your email address and I will forward them on to you, I will zip them up but the file will still be large so hope you have BB. Before I send them I will adjust brightness/contrast etc.

Isn't he just too, too modest? "Another success story for Rootschat"?

How about "Another success story brought about by Kenhar yet again"? 

Isn't he just a wonderful, kind and generous man?

I think that it is a miracle that the little white cross was still sitting there waiting to be found by him, "trusty camera in hand", all these years later. A really happy outcome.

Thank you Ken from all of us that you have helped on Rootschat. And yes, we do all love it.............
