Welford Road Cemetery

Is there an index available to the burials?

My 2G grandparents were John Gordon and wife Eliza/Elizabeth Muir, who lived in Leicester all their married lives (post 1872). They have at least three children I know of who were buried in Welford Road in the late 1870's and early 1880's (Mary, Agnes Edith and Charlotte "Lottie" May). I would like to know if John and wife are also buried there. John was born about 1848. Not sure when he died.

What does the burial record include?

Below is contact information for the City of leicester’s department that is responsible for cemeteries.

May be worth an email  - they might point you in the right direction as to the existence of a list of internments.
