Request regarding photographs of memorials in Manchester.
« on: Saturday 01 November 14 22:41 GMT (UK) »
Hello all.
I have reluctantly realised that i will be unable to travel to Manchester from New Zealand now and wondered if anybody living  close to the following two cemeteries would be able to locate and photograph 3 memorials for me. I realise that there may not actually be a memorial stone.

St Mary's R C Cemetery, Manchester Road, Wardley, Worsley, Manchester M28 2UJ.
Annie Davy died 10th November 1944. Grave number M7.

St Joseph's RC Cemetery, Moston Lane, Moston, Manchester M40 9QL.
Maureen Davy died 12 th December 1937. Grave number St James 1887.
Hannah Bella Swindells died 30th April 1892. Grave number 1150 Section J (Public Inscription Grave)

If anybody can do this for me i would be most appreciative.
Thank you and regards.

Hi Kiwigeoff

I live in Worsley not far from the cemetery at Wardley, I know where it is but have never visited.
If we get a break from rain tomorrow (Thursday 18th June), I will go find the grave for you and photograph it.  I'll upload here for you.

I'm not sure about the cemetery in Moston, though if I get a chance I will go find it for you. It wouldn't be until next week at least though.

Hello Bev.
That sounds just great, thanks.
As i think i said it's possible there is nothing to photograph but if there was, that would be just great.
Thanks so much.
Geoff.

Hi Geoff,

There is a vase of artificial flowers in front of the headstone, so I did by best to photograph the original stone without disturbing the vase.

Hello Bev.
Thank you very much for the trouble you have taken to photograph the memorials for us.
Annie Davy is my wifes grandmother who was born in Ireland in 1867 and Annie married to Patrick Landy was Annie seniors youngest and only daughter.
My wife, Anna, is so pleased, she's never seen these memorials.
Thanks again and cheers
Geoff.
