Doesn't help much but could it be Walton rather than Whalton?

Unfortunately as has been discussed previously it seems unlikely that you can go any further than what you already know. Your Wainwright side seems easier, from the Dordon/Polesworth/Baddesley Ensor area.

There are maps of the plots but not I don't think there's one that shows graves. There is a plot map on post #2 of this thread... https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/threads/witton-cemetery-sections1-and-5.52863/ ...assuming N47 is shown as just 47 it is towards the op in the centre...

Not much in the op appears to be correct but that's the fun of genealogy. Owen appears to have been born in Bham (possibly Windsor St), father in Coventry and mother in Bham. So might have to go back to his grandfather to find the Irish roots. Annie Louisa Gough appears to have been from...

Should have said clicking on name will bring up the appropriate page.

There is a download from Bham Bereavement Services. Costs £10 but I'm never sure what info you get...

It was Edith Florence Hemming's family I was looking at. Her parents appear to be Ernest Hemming and Elizabeth Steen (died quite young). And I have Ernest's father as Harry Wilson Hemming 1831 - 1916. After being listed in the drapery trade in his early life, he the appears to have had a bit...

Reviving this thread to wonder if you have looked into (Harry) Vincent Kerr's daughter-in-law's family (Hemming)? Her grandfather appears to be quite interesting (if I have the correct people).

They were advertising for help wanted in the Bham Mail 1940 & 41. Those are the only 2 years that have come up. Address given was 7 High St.

Can't see a marriage for an Alfred Rogers to an Annie Farmer in 1930. The only marriage for an Alfred Rogers in that year reg. Bham is to a Florence A Phillips. The A could be for Annie I suppose. I assume the Chapman family listed at 49 Holte Road in 1939 are related.

Do you mean the Frank (Francis John) Rogers who married (1918) Rose Shakespeare or his father, also Frank (Francis). Younger Frank appears to have had a brother and a sister - Thomas William and Eliza. Older Frank appears to have the brothers you've mentioned as well as a couple of sisters.

No idea if the above is the Sheila you are interested but she was born in Bham in 1949, daughter of John Bohan (as mentioned) and Julia Brady. She had a brother and 2 sisters - Patricia, Denis & Mary. Lived on Kyotts Lake Lane in the 60s.

A couple of things for Sheila. There marriage for a Sheila Bohan to a Thomas Peyton, reg. Bham Dec 1975. And there is newspaper item in the Bham Mail 14 Mar 1994 'Bohan John. In loving memory of a dear dad who died March 14 1973. Loved and remembered always Loving daughter Sheila and...

Looking again at the column with the 4/70s and 4/80s, are those graves that are listed next to each other or are there gaps between them where other graves could be?

It's difficult to say. It appears that the numbering generally goes up from the bottom left to top right - for graves in section 4 at least. There appear to be other numbers missing. Do the blank squares contain graves? And if so maybe they are unmarked because when the map was made there was...
