    Yardley Cemetery Plot Map

    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.

    Iommi family

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

    Why are you a family historian?

    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...

    Iommi family

    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...

    St Joseph’s church (nechells) help with the map below ⬇️

    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.

    St Joseph’s church (nechells) help with the map below ⬇️

    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.

    St Joseph’s church (nechells) help with the map below ⬇️

    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...
