Hope your visit was successful Jonathan  ;D

It was Carol, thank you. We located the approximate grave locations of both James and his wife Mary. There were no headstones but I guessed there might not be. Using a bit of creative mathematics based on other grave numbers we think we got pretty close. I've also discovered since visiting on Sunday that Mary's granddaughter Amelia is buried with her and I've got a second great aunt and her husband in another compartment so there's a good chance I'm going back tomorrow for another look.

This should keep me occupied over the holiday!!  :)

Oh that's great, have you found their cause of death in the burial records on family search? I have spent a lot of time looking around  both Western and General cemeteries in the past.

Since Jomot posted the link to the burial records my normal life has come to an end and I've spent just about every available minute both at home and at work trawling the records. I've added burial information for another dozen in my family tree tonight alone. I've found a second great uncle and his wife in Northern Cemetery (I'm going to try and get there tomorrow too)! The home address at the time if death and also the place of death notes are also useful.

It's a shame there doesn't appear to be cremation records transcribed at the moment (unless I'm looking in the wrong place) as these would help for those I can't find burials for.
