[julieweb]

Hi all on the forum.
Are there any online cemetery records for Birmingham area ? evey time I seach I keep coming up with the council web pages,or a list of cemeteries names,nothing else,it can get very costly to research in England from here Australia.
Also does anyone know if the cemeteries trust will ever make the records available online,in the near futrue?
I have looked at the findagrave website, England records are slowly coming on line.

This link covers the Warwickshire area on findagave web site,which is slowly building up.
it may help someone,I check it all the time.
I hope its ok to post the link....

Hi Julie: Welcome to the Forum. There are lists available on line of some churches in the Birmingham areas with names of persons interred in their grave yards. These lists are called Monumental Inscriptions. In the Birmingham area the names of the various churches that have such Monumental Inscription lists are held by the Birmingham and Midland Society of Genealogy and Heraldry. They have a charge for obtaining a copy of an MI that's listed and their prices are on this part of their website https://www.bmsgh.org/bookshop/warw/wa_birm_par.html

There are, however, copies of some of the MI's online. So it depends which churchyards you are looking for and whether they have
a MI listing of all their burials. A good way to find MI's free on line is to Google the church and preface the query with........
Monumental Inscriptions- then the churches name. If the church has an MI list it will come up in the search. The information in the MI lists is minimal, usually a page number of the list and a name in each case. If you have a lot of looking up to do for burials this is one way of
checking out whether the person or family you are searching for are interred at a certain church. This is what an MI looks like...one for Aston Parish Church- St. Peter and St.Paul: https://www.hunimex.com/warwick/mi/mi_aston_pp_long.html

Hope this helps.
