Manchester Southern Cemetery request
« on: Saturday 24 November 18 10:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi, if anyone is heading to Manchester Southern Cemetery, it would be really great to get a photo of the gravestone of my great grandfather, and great grandmother.  They are Alfred William Holland, and Elizabeth Ann.  It should be in section S, grave 561.  There should be other family members listed too...  Many thanks to anyone that can help!

Hello and Welcome to the Forum
We are here to help

I'm not anywhere nearby but here  are the burials in the grave.
SConsecrated   561
1 Richard Holland buried 6/1/1916
2 Keith Barron  3/3/1941
3 Alfred Holland buried 6/6/1944
4 Elizabeth Ann Holland  1/7/1945
5 Deborah Holland  10/3/1955

If no one volunteers the Cemetery is on Find a Grave .com and you can ask for a photo.I'm not sure if they charge or how it works.

Thank you! I'm hoping that Barron is really a Barrow, otherwise I don't know how he fits in!

A photo would help to clear this up!

Thanks for mentioning FindAGrave... I've got my fingers crossed that someone on this site can help, but it's good to know there's another route if not

Thank you.  I found the burial records, and it appears they wrote Barrow, then crossed it out and wrote Barron... So, I wonder what's on the headstone...
