Hi Leonardjob, I think the information about New Oscott was correct, I buried my aunt and grandmother in there 1964 and 1984 because I understood it to be the main R/C burial ground. other R/C relatives of mine are also interred there, if you have no luck try your local undertaker for info. mick mcgrath.
 
St Josephs - Nechells, top of Thimble Mill lane / Long Acre, just by Wing Yip was opened C1850 as a Roman Catholic cemetery. Later the cahpel was extended to make it a parish church - still a fair sized cemetery - worth googling to see their website.
many R.C.' wfrom Hockley/Newtown would be buried here, especially before B'ham Council open it's own cemetey at Witton.
As has been said - nowadays, all council cemeteries have R.C. sections.
Also some may well be buried in Key Hill - first cemetery in B'ham We have Irish families in there who were R.C.'s.

We have 3 crowes - No patrick though

Was this compulsory or just a case of choosing where other RC's were buried?

I have late RC relatives who were buried in Handsworth,
