I have just found out that 2 of my uncles are buried in Warstone Cemetry in a public grave, they both died in infancy, they are both buried in section 'O' Nos 841 (1909) and No. 1130 (1918). Do you know if there is there a plaque listing their names by that section?Took advantage of sunshine yesterday (and no leaves on the tree!) to get a better picture of B 1792.

The slabs have all been cleared off now - so should be clearly visible. Passed by a few days ago - looks different with the railings up - cannot just walk in from anywhere now! Builders were on site and paths were a mess - they have cleared that stubborn ivy from the catacomb wall, repaired the wall where it was propped up =- looks awful, new parapet edging around the catacombs - stands out! and new fencing inside the parapet - very modern, ugly - but stops anyone from jumping off - so H&S are OK - If you pop down now you will be able to check out the headstone - but it will on;ly have a dozen or so names on it - those who pay - hundreds buried in there are not listedHello Pepper, I think a couple of those slabs are missing on that side, Key Hill Brian will know if he spots this thread. It may be that they were covered in that horrible ivy, there has been some work done above the catacombs so here's hoping!
Not all the names are included on those slabs for various reasons and many could not afford to have it done.

I did not have my camera with me and have no smartphone - needs someone to pop along and take a few pics - looking differant now!Thanks for the update Brian, good riddance to the ivy!!

Hello Not sure if I am doing this correctly. My gtgtgrandfather is in G1020. It cost him£1+15s in 1875 so I am hoping there may be a stone. His name is. James McCulloch or McCullock. I would be sooooo grateful if anyone knows anything!Took advantage of sunshine yesterday (and no leaves on the tree!) to get a better picture of B 1792. Click the image to enlarge it.

19381 means he is the 19,381st record in the register. G 10120 is the Grave number - area on Pittsford St, next area down from Section H which borders Pittsford St & Vyse St. Very few gravestones in the area1875
MCCULLOCK James
19381
G 1020
19381 is the record number I think.
I can't find any info about a stone as it looks as if it might be a public grave.
see here for where I found the info
If you enter his name in the first search option and the click on the smll green rectangle you get more info. McCullock gave me two options.
