Plymouth - Crown Hill Cemetery?

[Flemming]

Another thought - the PWDRO had a volunteer project ('Of the Parish') that photographed or scanned images of headstones in Plymouth churches, St Budeaux being one of them. The catalogue is archived but information still available at the link below, although the search links don't work. Again, it may be worth asking The Box about this.

Devon Family History Society has indexed Efford & Weston Mill cemetery registers and can be searched via the surname search on the members' area of the Society website- www.devonfhs.org.uk.
Society has also done some but not all of Ford Park. A volunteer has also photographed the grave stones in Efford and they are being indexed.
Membership starts at just £12 a year (Jan to Dec).

Is the info free to members or are there extra charges? I ordered a pdf of Ford burials a few years ago and had to pay for it (as a member).

If it's in the members area then it is free to members. Ford Park is not there yet! but it is on Findmypast. Efford & Weston Mill are ONLY in the members area

Hi,

I run a local Facebook group & some of my members have mentioned that there are two cemeteries in the area not mentioned so far. The first is Ernesettle (at the top of Ernesettle Lane) & one at the top of Eggbuckland.

There's also a church at Higher St Budeaux on Crownhill Road.

I will let you know if I hear more. Just one thing, but there's a huge Naval building in Crownhill. I don't know if a cemetery would be part of it?

Suzanne.

Hi Suzanne, do you know the name of the cemetery in Ernesettle (the top of Ernesettle Lane is an industrial estate now), and which Naval building is in Crownhill - do you mean the forts? EDIT Or Manadon Naval College which opened in 1940 and is now a housing estate?

Also, Eggbuckland and St Budeaux have been mentioned above (see replies 1 and 7), just to avoid any confusion for the OP.

Sorry. I am operating on a tiny phone screen, in a tent, with limited WiFi!

I am only passing information exactly as those local have said. A post has been put on with a link to Google maps as to the Eggbuckland one.

The one at the top of Ernesettle Lane could possibly be St Budeaux Church. They are discussing among themselves.

As for the military buildings, they are on Fort Austin Road (B3413).

They were used through into the 2000's.

St Budeaux church is near the south end of Ernesettle Lane so possibly the bottom, not the top.

The military buildings on the B3413 (Crownhill Road and Fort Austin Avenue) are old army forts, not Naval buildings.
