Ken, Rose,

The people at Blackley Crem are fantastic.  You'll be able to go in their index room and look up the grave receipts for yourself. (who's buried, who paid, how much, how deep etc).

And if you're planning a trip to M/cr General Cemetery, take a Rottweiler and a stab jacket  ;D

Hi Mike

I dont need a Rottweiler or stab jacket, I have lived in Harpurhey for 22 years so I know which trees to hide behind  ;D

Hi Rose

This has been a great hunt

Blackely Crem have done me proud in the past but today was stunning. Asked for burial location of Charles Brett 1867 blah blah blah ... few minutes later tha lass said is that Sergeant Brett and got out a small file with burial map, photo copy of a page from a book called 150 years of Police in Manchester and it has a photo of him.

Anyway went to Harpurhey Cemetery and found grave (send PM with email address and I will forward the pictures I took)

The headstone is in good order apart from one line and it reads -:

IN AFFECTIONATE REMEMBERANCE OF SERGEANT CHARLES BRETT OF THE MANCHESTER POLICE FORCE WHO DIED IN THE DISCHARGE OF HIS DUTY AT HYDE ROAD SEPT 18TH 1867 IN THE 52 YEAR OF HIS AGE DARE NOT I MUST DO MY DUTY

ALSO MARY RELICT OF THE ABOVE WHO DIED DEC 5TH 1895 AGED 80 YEARS

ALSO WILLIAM BRETT FATHER OF THE ABOVE DIED NOV 11TH 1875 AGED 85 YEARS

ALSO ANNIES ATKIN WHO DIED JULY 1ST 1875 AGED 3 MONTHS FEED MY ? (think it may say babies)

ALSO ELLEN ATKIN BORN JAN 27TH 1880 DIED FEB 1ST 1880.

Why the headstone should say RELICT I have no idea, for your reference the grave number is 2524 c/e
Hope you like the photos

Ken

"Relict" is just an old way of saying "widow"

What an amazing story!

Ken,

Well hunted. They're a good bunch at Blackley aren't they?

I think relict means widow.
