    Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

    Can’t thank you enough for looking Stacey. Much appreciated. I suspected there wasn’t a headstone. They were quite poor. I’m just away at the minute so only just picked your message up. Anything I can help you with please shout up. I have ancestry and FMP. Best wishes. Andrew P.S. in my home...

    Thanks Stacey, I will attach one photo and see if I can find anything better. Section 6 is on the bottom right. No great rush as it has been 7 years since my original post

    Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

    Believe it not the following is from July 2017!, Talk about putting things on the back burner If there is a headstone, a photo of it would be great. My now 91 year old relative is still up for a visit if there is one for his grandparents. ☺️ ‘I've just located the details of my great...

    Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

    Hi Stacey, As you can see I’m not on here often due to researching other branches! No I never did have any joy, I do have the plot details but unsure if there’s a headstone for my great grandparents. I saw the paper copy of the details earlier today and if ever you do get chance to look I’d...

    Hi mike only just spotted your message. Thank you so much. Yes I have been in touch and even met Helen and Murray at their home (prior to lockdowns). Both are lovely people and really it’s really sad that Murray has passed away. I have been in touch with Helen relatively recently. Are you...

    Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

    Thank you so much Maggie for your time and efforts. I'm not sure everyone would think that taking a 15 minute walk out of their way was no trouble! Really, really appreciate it and I'd love to return the favour (I have 'ancestry' and 'findmypast' subscriptions so don't hesitate to ask if you...

    Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

    Hi Maggie I can't believe I missed your post. Yes it was still outstanding but I have missed your visits. How frustrating but really very kind of you to offer. Perhaps another time but if not I still need to visit. Hope your visit was fruitful. Kindest regards.

    Thanks David, if you do manage to make it great but if other things come up don't worry. Happy to return the favour if you need anything looking up at cemeteries close to or in Melton Mowbray! or at the records office in Leicester.

    Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

    Thanks David, I assume Gingerjon uploaded Handsworth cemetery in error instead of Uplands so I have tried sending him a message to this effect in case he doesn't spot it on here.

    Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

    I've just located the details of my great grandparents and I was correct with the dates. David Palmer died in 1955 and his wife Zeta Elizabeth Palmer nee Starkey died in 1943. They are both buried in the same plot at Uplands Cemetery. Plot 23, Section 6, Grave no. 12828

    Uplands Cemetery Photo Request

    Hi Jon but I've took a quick look at the cemetery plan and I'm not sure if I'm missing a trick or being a little thick (no comments please) but is Handsworth Cemetery the same as Uplands?
