Help wanted in finding Henry Stobbs at Blackhill Cemetery in Consett, Durham
« on: Thursday 18 June 20 23:11 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I didn't realise how big Blackhill Cemetery in Consett Durham was... and I am really needing help tracking down where I would find my ancestors Henry Stobbs (1862-1947) and Eleanor Stobbs (1862-1939) tombstone. Would someone be able to help me get a map of the plots and where specifically my ancestor is buried? Or where I could find that information?

Thank you!

I would contact the cemetery and give full details of the names and dates of death or burial.

They may not have a tombstone but there should be a plot or plots for them and a map.

Please note that when you click on the link for the burial record, you will need to fill in the name in the relevant boxes and pick All Death Records from the Record Type list.

It seems that any information found expires after a certain length of time.

Hoping that this is the correct cemetery and might be of some help for location of grave section as posted by jonw65

Looks as if they have a map layout on the Welcome sign to Blackhill Old Cemetery
