Heaton Cemetery in Bolton

[JackyFirth]

Hello 
I am looking for someone who lives in Bolton and would be kind enough to take pictures of the two headstones located in Heaton Cemetery. I am not sure if these tombstones still exist, but unfortunately there are no photos available on the internet. If someone would be kind enough to help me I would be grateful.

Greetings.

If you type Heaton Cemetery Bolton Lancashire, you can click on Find a Grave.

You can make a request that the headstone if there is one be photographed. It doesn't cost anything.

You could also contact the cemetary to check if those graves do still have headstones

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately I can't find any information about the graves on the given page. As for calling Heaton Cemetery in Bolton, unfortunately I don't live in the UK and don't speak perfect English so that would be a problem. But thanks for trying to help.

Have you looked at deceased online as they have the records for that cemetery.  It is a pay per view site though you can search the indexes if you register, that is free

Sometimes it is a good idea just to post the details of who you are looking for on here just in case someone is visiting some time in the future.  You would need to know the location of the graves

Thank you very much for all the links, I already have all these things checked and found. I am registered on the Deceased website and found information about two people I am interested in, but unfortunately I cannot receive more information about the deceased in the free option. The people I am interested in are buried in places 3/N2/8 (Regina Raczka) and 3/Z1/98 (Jozef Raczka) in a place for Catholics. I just wanted to find possible photos of the tombstones, if they still exist, but thanks for all the advice and recommendations.

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately I can't find any information about the graves on the given page.

Find a Grave only has full listings for a very few of its cemeteries. Mostly, it relies on people creating memorial pages as they find the information or to make requests. Log in or create an account if necessary (it's free). Click on Add a Memorial on the cemetery main page, and you'll get a form to create an entry for Regina. Fill in what information you have and leave the rest blank. Repeat for Jozef. Don't panic; there's an Edit option for additions or corrections. Click on Request Photo on the left of each memorial. Then be patient -- it all depends on how many volunteers there in the area and how easy it is to find the grave; for example, some cemeteries are heavily overgrown and they only cut it down once a year in autumn (if ever). You'll get an e-mail when the photo is taken or if someone reports a serious problem.

I see that Regina and Jozef are buried in different graves. This means it's possible they are in so-called "common" of "public" graves each with several unrelated people and less likely to be marked, or if marked at all, with headstone(s) for only some of the people. In such cases, Find a Grave volunteers should take a photo of the area of bare grass or the unrelated headstone(s), though some give up.

If you have any queries about the process, ask here or send me a PM.
