St Catherine's Church, Cemetery, Birkenhead
« on: Monday 14 October 19 15:22 BST (UK) »
Could anyone help me with finding the cemetery, where my ancestors could be buried.
The family name would be Spargo.

John Thomas Spargo died in Bebington 24th December 1899 and was buried on the 27th.
He married Florence Alice Gardiner Smith in 1890.

Florence remarried to James Atherton Downham,
they were married at St. Catherine's on the 29th January 1902

Could the cemetery still be in existence or was it bombed during WW2 and details lost ?
Also  the interned moved?

Thank you.

According to the 1899 map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/331919/387175/12/100492 St. Catherine's Church did not have a cemetery/graveyard.

He was buried, according to the Register, in the Parish of Bebington 27 November 1899 aged 35. Abode given as Tranmere.

I believe the Parish Church in Bebington is St Andrews.

My mistake for typing December !!

I only have knowledge of Hubert, Percy and Marjorie.

Did Cyril die in infancy ?

Yes John Thomas was born in 1864 in Plymouth.

I have knowledge of the will he left to Florence.

Florence was my Great-Grandmother.
