Liverpool Crematorium records on "Ancestry"

[Tickettyboo]

I've been looking at these .The database was recently updated on 15/04/2020.
Perhaps they did upload all the images  - but maybe they are /were still in the process of transcribing them for the database?

Your example of William H G Young, died 1985, Though in the results list the date of birth and date of burial fields are blank, if you hover over the View Record link, you get a pop up with the details
Name William H G Young
age 70
Record Type Cremation
Cremation date 29/03/1985
Burial place Liverpool Merseyside

I'd guess they still need to fine tune it (which I suspect is true for a lot of things on the site), but hovering over the link will give the info that's missing in the results list and if you have lots of possibles in the results 'hovering' line by line is quicker than opening each link in turn to find the most likely one.
For the convenience of being able to access these online, I'll put up with slight oddities. Even when the archives are open, its a 450 mile round trip for me to visit.

I just looked in the archives catalogue, though they have Liverpool (Anfield) Crematorium registers listed, they do not have anything in the catalogue for Springwood Crematorium Registers.
Perhaps they are still held by the Crematorium and have not yet been deposited.

This old thread popped up in a search result and so I thought I’d add something in case it is helpful to anyone.

I’m now working on my husband’s family tree. He’s from Liverpool and so he has many relatives who were cremated either at Anfield or at Springwood.

No problem pre-1975 – the cremations were at Anfeld and I found quite a few records on Ancestry.

But I was confused to see my husband’s grandparents feature in the same set of ‘Liverpool Crematorium’ records. They died in 1981 and were cremated at Springwood.

So I contacted the Liverpool Archives today and they told me that all the crematorium records are listed together under ‘Liverpool Crematorium’ – both online and in the originals. I was surprised to hear that.

So for anyone looking at the Liverpool Crematorium records on Ancestry for post-1975 cremations, these events could have been at Anfield or Springwood and you won’t find that information online.

The Archives recommended checking local newspapers (eg Liverpool Echo) for death notices, to find the correct venue (which I had already started to do).

This page has links to Books of Remembrance online for both Anfield and Springwood.

 Obviously not everyone chooses to have an entry but it 'may' save some time trawling through newspapers?
and its nice to see the entry if there was one

Very interesting thanks for this information.
