Very hard to pinpoint two of these graves

M is virtually clear of stones, I though B would be my best chance, but it was not to be

Many thanks BF.
I half expected that would be the situation but you have saved me a very long wasted journey.

Hi
I have a family member buried here apparently and I would love to know if the headstone is still here I have the following information
Section h consecrated grave 948 position 5
Is this a plot with several people inside ? Was it a section for the very poor ? I’m really new to researching so any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
Laura

Welcome to Rootschat, Laura.  It might help if you could give us the name of your family member, and possibly a date as well.

Hi Laura

I will be going passed PP tomorrow and I know the location of H/CofE but as BumbleB said a name and date make thinks a lot easier in hunting down a grave. Looking for a number on the graves is usually impossible.

Regards
Ken

Yes sorry his name was harry ramsbottom he died in 1939 aged approx 23yrs thank you for your replies

To help Ken:

Henry Carter - 1913
Sarah A Carter - 1915
Arnold J Ramsbottom - 1923
James Carter - 1929
Harry Ramsbottom - 1939
Rita Wild - 1945

Looks like a family grave to me, rather than a pauper grave.

That turned into a bit of a do 

I had a very good idea of the location as the wifes gt grandparents are only a few stones away.

Found stone which was partly buried but had nothing to clear it with, so took a couple on my camera with the intention of going back within the hour. Took the memory card out of my camera to check what I had took. Picked up a trowel, brush, bottle of water and camera.

Cleared, cleaned stone, picked up camera only to find I had forgot to put the memory card back in it 

Thank god for smart phones  but not the greatest of photos

Laura. Harry's name is not on the stone the water line in the photos is the actual end of the stone, I cannot add a sample to this posting as it has exceeded the number of photos permitted.
I have zipped up some photos and put them into my dropbox account (just click and download) https://www.dropbox.com/s/wvhbdnqusmzvquu/Carter.zip?dl=0

Thanks BumbleB for the info

Regards
Ken
