Tried searching previous posts for a map of the layout of Yardley Cemetery but couldn't find one so contacted the Cemetery direct. They have sent me one so thought i'd post on here.

If anyone wants a picture of a grave etc and know where it is am happy to have a look round and take a picture for them

Thanks for the offer dwilly.

I think that the original plan must have been lost in the hacking, so thanks for locating a new copy.
 
Thanks Dwilly, Just found out my Aunts grave number, the map was really useful. She is buried very close to my parents and baby brother, which we didn't know. She was only 17 when she died in childbirth. Her baby survived, so sad! Anne
 
Both of my parents Edna and Willian Herbert Crump where cremated there. My sister Joan had a memorial stone placd on the dge of the drive in from of the building. If anyone is there I would love to have a photo of that, Thanks John Crump Parker, Co USA
 
John let me have the details and I will sort one for you.

Bernard. Thanks so much but please doont go out of your way doing this. My Sis Joan says there is a memorial stone by the drive way across from the entrance to the building? John Crump Parker. Co USA
 
I have family there John so no problem - if passing I will pop in, unless Dwilly beats me to it that is.
 
Hello. After just reading the above I thought you may be able to help me? After several months last year I finally tracked down where my Grandfather & Grandmother are buried. Yardley cemetery have sent me a detailed map of the grave location. I would love to see a photo of the inscription. I live in Bath & not aware of any family that I can find, left in Birmingham. Thanks Stuart James.
 
Stuart let us have the location someone take look. Not all inscriptions are still visible however.

Think I just sent you an email as wasn't sure how to forward the attachment I received via this forum, from Yardley. I have sent it via the email I received from you. Stuart
 
I hope all the details have come to you via the email I received. Stuart

I have tried another way to pass the information on;
Dear Mr James
I have attached a map of the location of Grave 28423 sec 24.
From the back corner of section 24 count 12 rows along the pathway.
You should come to row 12 which starts at 28413 from there count 11 rows to the middle and then you should be at grave 28423.
Kind Regards
Hazel

I don't know how to send the map unless I have a private email address.

Thanks BernardR. Did you receive my email with the instructions, sorry to ask but my Dad is not that well & I would like to discover about the confusion of the burial, as the whereabouts I only discovered recently. Stuart
 
Is there anyone out there local to Yardley cemetery that could have a look for me following these instructions I was sent? I see a map was posted on the first post. If I can return the favour in the Bath area I will.
Instructions; Grave 28423 sec 24.

George H James died 1924 & Mary James (nee Hughes} 1951. Thanks for reading. Stuart

Sorry to trouble you and thanks for the map however do the digits relate to the grave number? I have an location of Section C number 6995. Would that be in the sector 69? Please advise if possible and many thanks. Regards Andy

Sorry wrote incorrect number, now correct!
 
Hi, this is my first post on this site so forgive me if I am in the wrong place!! :) I have just paid my £20 to get the grave details of my husband's grandfather. We had no idea he was buried in Yardley Cemetery, so we are really pleased. However on the digital register it only says Section D (Grave number 27399). On the map that I have found in various places for the cemetery there is no mention of Section in letter format only numbers. Therefore we haven't a clue where to start looking. Could anyone help?? Many thanks.
 
Welcome to the forum.
If you plan to visit - check when the cemetery office is open so you can ask or email them with the grave number and ask them to pinpoint a section for you. They were very helpful when I asked a similar question.
Info can be found here: Yardley Cemetery
Grave numbers are usually on the back of the grave stones but if your grave has no stone be prepared to find the nearest and count to work out the position of the plot (I had to do that).
 
My gt g-parents were buried there (1922 and 1928). I got the grave details off the register and took them to the cemetery. They then gave me this map with the location marked (section 24, 7 plots in one direction 29 in the other). The lady was very helpful. Unfortunately the grave was unmarked - just a bare plot.

Glad you had some success with Yardley Crem. I have found relatives(6 / 7 in total) in Brandwood Crem, you have to go through Kings Norton office to get info on plot ( i have dates of deaths ) as i live abroad (and not knowing when flights /travel) is going to be lifted my plan was is to get all the info before i come over to Brum so as not to waste time owing to seeing family, after 3 e-mails over the last few months no reply from them Frustrating.
 
Can anyone let me know which section of Yardley cemetery this is please, I couldn’t make it out, thanks
