Grave coordinate
« on: Saturday 04 June 22 18:08 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me to understand  coordinates of a grave in Saltwell cemetery.  Section C (I know where this is) but how do I work out where 2793 is?

Thanks

As others have said, the cemeteries dept should be able to give you directions.

Other than that:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHV-P3VC-C9CY-X?i=515&cat=825084
(you need to be signed in to see that, but an account is free and easy to register)

That's the grave register for no 2793, (as far as I can tell grave numbers aren't duplicated in different sections) it does not appear to have been purchased so its highly unlikely to have a headstone.

Other graves near to 2793 were purchased so if you go, looking for headstones which have names of the occupants of the nearest graves may help you to pin point the grave space.
