Question for Freda Chorlton

Firstly, Thankyou so much for your work indexing the Hindley Cemetery graves.

However, may I point out a possible typo? This concerns my husband’s Grandmother Jane Taylor, of 3 Liverpool Road, wife of John, who died on 31st October 1931, aged 36, and is listed on the index as CC8-172 but is actually on CC8-72. To explain further, there is a War veteran buried at CC8 - 172 and the name Taylor is visible on a flower urn at CC8-72 though no other inscription so it is assumed that this is ‘our’ Jane.

Kind regards

Yvonne Hardwick

Freda did a very good job and I have found graves of relatives and people I knew using the information and a map of the cemetery.

There as not been a typo , you are reading the index wrong
Jane is buried CC8 -172 Church of England Ground , she is buried along with her sister Gertrude who married Janes husband after Janes death and Gertrude appears to have died in child birth as there is a still born child with her
The soldiers grave you refer to is CC8 - 172 in the Non Conformist Ground, the urn you saw with the name Taylor CC8 -72 probably refers to the Taylor family in CC8- 72 Non Conformist Ground

Thank you for the grave index, but I cannot find plot A7 C of E. I am looking to find my grandmothers grave Alice Worgan age 34 died 5/9/1928.
Plot A7-162
I cannot find A7 on the cemetery plan
Thanks

Take note the dates given are the date they were buried not the day they died.

phildog you are quite correct the plans do not show A7 , it may be that it looks like 7 in the original register but may in fact be A1?? . if you are intending going to the cemetery I suggest you check A1. (worth a try,) all being well I am going to the Museum tomorrow and I will have at look at the original entry

phildog I have had a look at the original cemetery register and the grave number for Alice is in fact C7-162 but I can see why it as been misread as A (the actual registers are very confusing )
