Thank you. All makes sense now. It was bugging me.

I looked up Lodge hill cemetery online. The links have kindly been put above. When I first emailed asking for the grave plot numbers with just their names, I got a quick response with numbers and a map. Then the next time I emailed with another enquiry it was not so quick. I had to ring a few...

Hi Rosie, Thank you, yes that makes sense. It is just a headstone. It is strange because when I visited the cemetery I did feel like I was ‘stepping’ on the graves. No markings as grass has grown over. Thanks again.

I have a question. What does the LB mean on the cemetery map? I know RC means Roman Catholic. My map is slightly different and not hand drawn, but has LB on too. Thanks

To make you feel better, the only reason I knew about numbers on the back of headstones, was because I emailed the Cemetary to find out the grave plot number and they told me. I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

It’s not stupid at all. I went to Lodge Hill and I knew it was in a certain section (number 39) then I went along the graves and had to look at numbers on the headstones as most have numbers on the back. The number of grave isn’t on map. I followed graves then got confused because the grave I...

Hi Rosie, I used a link on lodge hill cemetery website. It took me to a page where I could look up the names of my relatives and if I wanted to pay £10 I could see details of the date of the funeral, who carried out the funeral. The grave plot number was there too. I was quite impressed, but I...

Thanks for reply. His name was John McLaughlin. He was 14 in 1962. I have got an article. I can try to attach it. Thank you.

Hello everyone I found out yesterday that my cousin went to Archbishop Masterson Boys' school. I believe it was demolished in 1988. He died in a tragic accident in 1962 with his dad. My mum can remember children from his school at their funeral. I’m wondering if anyone on here can remember? We...

It’s a beautiful cemetery. I visited a few weeks ago.

Hi Carolina, I emailed again today. I have emailed about 3-4 times now. Phoned twice. I’ll try again tomorrow. It’s funny because my first experience was so positive. I was really impressed. Thank you very much.

I found an article about him in Spain and that he had died recently. I thought it would be easy to find where he had worked in 1962, but it was so frustrating and I couldn’t find anything. I’m in the process of trying to get details of my cousins baptism from St Catherine’s of Siena. I guessed...

I have searched newspapers online for hours and only found one article when he was ordained. It’s amazing what other people can find. Thank you.

I am so happy with what Janice found out for me. My mum is thrilled too. Thank you again

Thank you for reply. So interesting.

Thank you so much. I have searched for hours. I’m not from Birmingham so been a bit difficult. Thank you

Thank you for your reply. He lived on the Fordrough. They are buried in Lodge hill. His son went to Archbishop Masterson R.C. Boys' School. (I’ve just found this out today from Birmingham archive). They had connections to the old St Catherine’s of Siena church, but I believe they moved so not...

Please forgive me if I’m writing in wrong place. Still not got the hang of this. I have tried searching on here and elsewhere online. I’m still trying to find any information I can about my great uncle and his son. I found his burial information and I visited his grave a few weeks ago. The...

I emailed lodge hill cemetery about a grave plot and they got back to me really quickly with the details and a map. You can also find out yourself for a fee of £10 online (I found this out recently). You can see a copy of book with details of grave plot etc. I have emailed again about repairing...
