Yew Tree Cemetery Liverpool

[ele002]

Is anyone conversant with the layout of the above?.

I have found a burial in the Burial Records which shows Grave 1191. I suspect it is a communal grave. However, The plot plan I found on the internet shows the plots with a number and a letter.

However, at the top of the page of records it states 'Public Sec A' even though some the entries show a number and a letter, which would match the plan I have.

Any suggestions.

Public graves have no headstones etc but always have a plot number.  There is sometimes a "brick" set by the plot with the plot number on it but it is usually invisible if it has been pressed into the ground and overgrown by grass.

The grave numbers would be shown on any plan.  I have a couple of ancestors buried in public graves in Anfield cemetary and we found the area quite easily but had to enlist the help of cemetary staff to pinpoint the graves.

It is sometimes possible to work it out from adjacent private grave numbers but if they are in a whole section dedicated solely to public graves that may not be possible.

Section A is a public grave section. Unfortunately the map that's available online doesn't show the location of Section A. You could make an enquiry asking about the location of Section A:-

Thanks.

I found something else related to Yew Tree Cemetery which made me think there was more to it than that shown on the map.
