HI ALBERTA

Thank you so very much for your reply to my quest for my Bosward family.Sorry i posted it in the wrong forum.
i do see the corrections and that is good to know.The son William age 20 on 1881 census is my late father-in-law's father.he went on to marry in 1897 in Birmingham .I have a list of the family buried at Witton Cem and wonder if anyone can tell me how or where I can get a note of their burial sites.I have asked for photos of the headstones if possible but need to pass on the location.
Can anyone tell me if the cemetery is now open to the public. Thank you all very much.

Kind regards
Jane
