Graveyards Birkenhead 1858. Completed thank you.
« on: Monday 19 December 22 07:16 GMT (UK) »
I have a death notice published in The Argus, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 14 Jun 1858 for my 4th grandmother Ann RENWICK nee RIDDELL 1770-1858.

Deaths
On 4th March, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs GRIMES, Birkenhead, Ann RENWICK in her 88th year of age, relict of the late John RENWICK, of Carmyle House, Lanarkshire.

Her daughter, Janet GRIMES who died in 1870, is buried (with headstone) in the non-conformist section of Flaybrick Cemetery and as that cemetery opened only in 1864, I would appreciate some help to find where her mother, Ann RENWICK was buried.

I also have Janet GRIMES' address in an 1860 Post Office Directory as 99 Exmouth Street, Birkenhead.

It's years since I've researched in Cheshire so hopefully there may be more records available.

Cheers
Cando

Hi Cando, long time since we spoke. Knowing the thoroughness of your researching are you only looking for the burial place of Ann Renwick. I presume you have all details having re read your post about Janet, ie probate record etc.

Added. I will give the church & Cheshire Records office (open tomorrow) a ring today to see if they have any details of burial registers or listings of names.

Thank you John and David. Yes John it’s a long time since we had any contact.
I’m just tidying up some loose ends.  I like to have places of burial and only noticed today I didn’t have Ann’s.
I’m not home atm and haven’t my family search log in details. 
Could either of you tell me where she is buried please?
