Can't find burial COMPLETED
« on: Friday 26 June 20 14:38 BST (UK) »
I have been on Find a Grave website for St Margaret's Church Nevilles Cross where they have a list of burials and photos of gravestones, looking for the family grave of my Grandparents John William and Emma Vickers. I know that my Grandma was buried in the plot which had to have special permission to have it opened in Jan 1959 as I was at the funeral but the site says there is no trace. Can anyone help with further research.

Hi there is a St John's church at Neville's Cross - where is St Margaret's?

Is it St Margaret's church at Crossgate?

There is only one memorial recorded on that page :-\

The findagrave Neville's Cross page is nothing to do with the Parish Church. It is related to the battle of Neville's Cross in October 1346.

The page I looked I think was actually titled St Margaret's Nevilles Cross and had photos of 90% of gravstones with details of them and a list of all the burials there.
St Margaret's is on Crossgate just down the road from the Cathedral and St Mary the less.

Please can you give a link to it. The one I looked at, which was the one you said you were also looking at only contains one memorial.

I have found in the past that what findagrave says they have by way of records and what they actually have are two totally different things.
