Necropolis is the spelling given in the file i was sent, I would have said it was correct considering it came from the original records Latter-day Saints.  My G.G.Grandfather Richard McCloy lost a few relatives through sickness and the awful deceases going round.Including his Wife. Elizabeth  Livingstone nee Mc Cloy was Richards daughter and sister of my G.Grandmother.So thats where they will all be buried. Including My G.G.G.Grandfather Alexander who died in 1860 . The the 1860's Stone's wont be there now.but i am hoping the later ones might be.                                                    I would like a Gravestone search for

Janet McCloy nee Gormley wife of Richard McCloy,died 23rd December 1876.

Janet Liddell nee McCloy daughter of Richard.died 19th December 1879 age 30

Richard McCloy died 1st May 1888

Annie Wallace McCloy daughter of Richard died 28t December 1919 age 72.

Hi

If anyone needs anything looked at for the Newcastle Crematorium at Beresfield in NSW Aus let me know. Have a list that was current to 1999 (I think). It lists last residence and where the ashes are. Can even go and have a look as it is not that far from where i live .... it will give me a break from studying.  :)

            Yes we do.............lovely idea

I must be a "nerd "because I love going around graveyards,and I am always willing to go and look for anyone within reasonable distance from my home.

I do have a collection of photographs from the past 30 odd years that I have taken,but mostly in Belfast and the surrounding burial grounds....so yes I do go up and down the rows reading everyone.......... ;D...taking notes.........


But what I would really like would be a botton at the gate that you can press and all the names your looking for on the headstones, would stand up..................lovely dream that was...........but it would take all the fun away ..lol

Hi Willow
Maybe you were thinking of Pat Rieds post on page 1.She cant help in the U.K but offered to do some sluething from Missouri.
The only way to find a burial plot is to look up the burial.
Burial Plots on line ??? I'd be out of a job ;D ;D ;D
