Burial at Walton Park Cemetery, Liverpool - COLLINS
« on: Wednesday 26 February 14 22:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help me with a burial?

I've found the following burial on Ancestry;

Walton Park Parochial Cemetery, Rice Lane, Liverpool
Catherine COLLINS
Birth: 1929
Age: 17 months
Burial: 26/06/1930
Abode: 42 Belmont Road, Walton
Reference Number: 283 WAL/4/2/22


Does anyone know how I go about finding the grave in the cemetery? Also, I've no idea if the grave was public/private or if anyone else was interred in the plot.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advice?

Many thanks, Rowan Tree  :)

Hi Iria,

Thanks for your post  :)

Do you know how the numbers relate to graves on the ground, so to speak? And have you any idea if any burial/grave/plot information exists. For example, whether the grave is public/private, who (if the grave is private) bought the grave, who else is buried, etc...?

Having spent over a year trying to solve exactly the same puzzle I can tell you that 'Kevi' no longer works for the city farm and has proved to be 'uncontactable' so far.
Those at the farm will try to help where they can but they are not a grave finding service,they are a farm ! Bear in mind also they are a community project that is under threat from ever decreasing funding and a minimum of staff !
It appears that virtually ALL the records were destroyed during the WW2 bombing 'blitz' of the liverpool docks and seafront and St Nicholas Church was hit and burned very badly.
The example shown is from a ledger held at Liverpool Records Office in the main Library and is one of two that were salvaged from a 'skip' allegedly, therefore are not a complete record of the cemetery layout.
More here - http://forum.liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12883
The prospect of locating ANY common grave interments I have to say, is nigh on impossible without the exact field reference,row location and compass reference.
It should be borne in mind that many tens of thousands of people from the workhouses,the prison and other such institutions nearby were buried as many as six deep in the 'common' plots !

1916 - 1919 during the Spanish Flu pandemic would appear to have been a very busy period for them.
Like so many others,myself included, we just have to settle with the knowledge of the sites existence and little else as yet,unfortunately.
Life had treated them so unkindly and continues to do so even in death.

There are unmarked graves in cemeteries everywhere Vic it's a general problem over many generations - people failing to recognise with fitting memorials all those buried there. Better to spend money on the living than the dead? Many old churchyards and cemeteries have been landscaped or built over. Who knows what our newer cemeteries will be in 100 years time?
