Just wanted to add this map. I worked out myself that section 60 corresponds with section D after finding a family member. I now have another headstone to find in section C which I’m hoping are the sections before that(which would make sense) Either way… it is annoying when maps change.

I have another request if anyone can help. So I have a relative Guisppe born 1882 there is no death date for him in England and he was an (artists model) I am still not sure how he is related, but for sure he is close as he also lived Duddeston Row with all my great grandparents and family. He...

That's fab, I think its safe to say its the same person. The census is interesting ill save that :) thank you.

Ahh it says 79 In 1911 the year he died, so the fact the cemetery have 78 is just an error.

That's a typo by me, his birth as I have it is 7th march 1830 death jun 1911

I think for me definitely turning 40 had a part to play and it made me reflect on my own life and the people who came before me. Ive always been drawn to history and cemeteries, so ancestry felt like a natural extension of that. So although I still build on my own family tree, ive now started to...

No way that's crazy about the age on the gravestone being wrong. The way this women was talking earlier there was no way it could be an error. So when I called earlier, id actually got through to the office that deals with witton and that way, so although they gave me plot info she couldn't see...

Hi there, could I ask a favour for anyone with ancestry membership, There is one documented burial plot at Yardley cemetery for an Edward Lewis 1830-1911 But my records have his death date 7th march 1911 which would make him 81 when he passed, and yardley have 78 years age of death, which would...

Wishing everyone a merry christmas, not long now :))

so all the graves are next to each other, some are a little off though to where it indicates on the map. Its very overgrown all that area so its hard to see them all. But I just don't get where 4/87 would be.

Yes I think the empty squares represent a grave, I just don't know where id place the one im looking for... Out of all the cemetery maps ive looked at ( and that's a lot) this is the only one where the numbers aren't in order which is frustrating.

Map :)

Hi all, this map I’m going to share isn’t the original graveyard map, but it’s the oldest one they have. Facing the church this covers most of the left hand side. This map is the only one that corresponds with the original register St Chads have. I was looking for Iommi 4/183 and Iommi 4/87. As...

This is one of my favourites, along with home alone and elf :)

I was searching like yourself around 6 months ago, I discovered that st chad cathedral in Birmingham City centre hold catholic burials, the archivist works thursdays/fridays, if you send an email she can check for you. All other burials if not on the Birmingham City website, the library in town...
