Hi all
I’m trying to find the grave of my great great grandfather, Thomas Price. He was buried in Nov/Dec 1950 in the same plot as his wife Mary Ann who died in 1926. My nan says he was buried in Bartley Green cemetery, which as she puts it “was at the top of Jiggins Lane”, which was where he lived - he was a nailmaker for most of his life. I’ve looked on Google Maps and can find no cemetery near Jiggins Lane with the exception of a small graveyard on Field Lane which was where the old St Michaels & All Angels church was. I'll be checking this out sometime soon.
In case that is not where they are buried, can anyone tell me if Bartley Green cemetery still exists and if so, where it is? It's not Lodge Hill cemetery by a different name is it?
Thanks is advance
Iain
