Locating Burials

Lady Penelope

master brummie
I'm wondering if anyone can help with this query please?
I have been locating all the children from the local Orphanages who are buried at St Michael's, Boldmere. There are nearly 40 children buried in three separate graves and just one has still eluded me.
Ronald Taylor was buried on 11 May 1951 aged 4 and is entered onto the Register but no grave number can be found.
There are three gravestones but only the last two are still visible. The first has been toppled and grassed over. Not that they always record accurately who is buried there. I'm hoping that this stone will be unearthed when the car park is laid.
Is there a site which tells you where people are buried please?

Many thanks.
 
I always thought that for parish burials the main source of info was the church burial register plus map of grave sites.
No idea of anywhere else for churchyards
Sorry Pen.
