thank you.   yes I found this a real treasure trove of information.   I found the dates and locations of burials but what I want to do now is to try to find gravestones, or at least memorial inscriptions if they have now gone.  These are often in little booklets, heroically transcribed by someone.  ! Or how do I find if the graves are still there?

Hi

This website might be worth checking.

http://www.cemsearch.co.uk/

I used it a few years ago with some success.  However, it seems the site has not been updated for some time although is still there but I'm not sure if it's fully active.

Good luck.
